In this collection of Sayings, arranged under subject headings, the monks and nuns of fourth-century Egypt show us that the spirituality of the desert is for everyone. Their teaching speaks to any who follow the way of Christ; it is concerned more with action and behaviour than with mystical experience, with compassion, forbearance, self-knowledge and facing inner conflict.

Paper Back. Etat : As New. ''It is not the desert that makes a desert father anymore than it is the lion that makes the martyr,'' says Metropolitan Anthony Bloom in the introduction to this slim volume of sayings first collected in the fifth century. The sytematic sayings are organized by topics such as compunction, self-control, obedience, mercy, and long-suffering. Far from romantic, mystified visions of the spiritual life, here is hard-headed advice to fellow monks about the actions necessary to take in pursuit of humility and love. As one old man puts it: ''Spiritual work is essential, it is for this we have come to the desert. It is very hard to teach with the mouth that which one does not practice with the body.'' NEW COPIES. Revised Edition, perfect bound instead of staplebound, cover image varies from that shown. N° de réf. du vendeur 221788
