5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating read,
This review is from: Disciples of the Desert: Monks, Laity, and Spiritual Authority in Sixth-Century Gaza (Hardcover)
Hevelone-Harper has written a clear and comprehensive account of spiritual authority and monastic life in 6th century Gaza. She enters into the conversation of anchorites, monks, and laypeople through the correspondence of Saints Barsanuphius and John. This approach helps the reader appreciate the mindset of these 6th century people in a personal, as well as historical way. A wonderful introduction to Late Antique monasticism and for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of Christian spirituality.
