Product Description

This is an exquisite collection of short writings of the early Christian mystics presented as a programme of spiritual study. This unique anthology consists of 300 short meditations, rendered in simple free verse, by Christian contemplatives from the fourth to the eleventh centuries. The book features teachings of the Desert Fathers, the legendary monks who fled city life in order to dedicate themselves to a life of contemplation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely translation, 28 Jul 2007
By Mary Newsom (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have enjoyed this book as it gives insight into the early Christian writers. I don't know Greek and greatly appreciate the fact that others have gone to the trouble to make this material available to the English speaking world.
