    Written by the English statesman, jurist, and scholar Saint Thomas More in the 16th century, "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" is a classic piece of Christian literature. The book, which was finished in 1534 when More was imprisoned in the Tower of London, is told as a fictional conversation between two characters, Vincent and his uncle Anthony. The conversation takes place during a turbulent time of political and religious unrest. Vincent turns to his uncle Anthony for support and direction since he is in danger of being persecuted for his faith.

More examines the moral and theological dimensions of suffering, highlighting Christian virtues such as hope, patience, and trust in divine providence. "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" is a literary work that demonstrates More's wit, intelligence, and humanistic perspective on life's hardships in addition to being a theological treatise.
