- "In the earlier editions these words appeared: 'Finished and completed in the year of our Lord 1441 by the hand of brother Thomas von Kempen at Mt. St. Agnes near Zwelle.' From this inscription which is what any copyist might have written, people have assumed that Thomas von Kempen was the author, but scholars now believe that he was only the editor and that the real author was one Gerhard Groote." --Page 3.
- "The Imitation of Christ is a compilation of the writings of Gerhard Groote, most of which were written for his own private use or as aids in the spiritual development of the Brethren of the Common Life. The guiding principle in this paricular selection has been to gather passages that will call people today, as it did the Sisters and Brethren of the Common Life, to the realization of what conforming our lives to Christ means." --Page 4.
