The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius

Embracing EMOTION is not the answer. Remembering TRUTH about God is.

At the heart of Boethius’s most famous book lies a familiar problem: injustice. For him, this wasn’t an academic chin-scratcher for egg-headed intellectuals to discuss. Like a roaring tiger, it was shredding his relationship with God and threatening his very life as he sat imprisoned, falsely accused of treason. He wrote this book to declaw that tiger.

He discovered the danger of wallowing in emotion, and the necessity of thinking diligently and deeply about God. He found consolation
as he sat in the rubble heap of his life, joy in rediscovering the sovereign love of God. In other words, he found satisfaction in doing philosophy—and he wrote this book to help you taste that love and share that joy.

You are blessed, you sons of men,
If the love that rules the sky
In your hearts is throned on high!

Adapted into modern English from H. R. James’ 1897 translation, with an introduction by Brent E. Karding in collaboration with Biblearc.
