FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description "...clearly a must for all libraries...and for all readers interested in spirituality." Religious Studies Review John Cassian: Conferences translation and preface by Colm Luibheid introduction by Owen Chadwick "I f you wish to achieve true knowledge of scripture you must hurry to achieve unshakable humility of heart. This is what will lead you not to the knowledge that puffs a man up but to the lore which illumines through the achievement of love." John Cassian (c. 365-c. 435) At the turn of the sixth century the Mediterranean world was witnessing the decline of Roman rule that had formed the bedrock of its civil order. During the chaos of those years, there arose in the deserts of Egypt and Syria monastic movements that offered men and women a radical God-centered alternative to the present society. Among the most eloquent interpreters of this new movement to western Europe was John Cassian (c. 365-c.435). Drawing on his own early experience as a monk in Bethlehem and Egypt, he journeyed to the West to found monasteries in Marseilles and the region of Provence. Included in this volume is Cassian's masterpiece, the Conferences, which is a study of the Egyptian ideal of the monk. The new translation by Colm Luibheid is coupled with an insightful introduction by the distinguished Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History, Cambridge University, Owen Chadwick, who writes of Cassian's achievement: "Like the Rule of St. Benedict, his work was a protection against excess and a constant recall to that primitive simplicity where eastern spirituality met western." Author Biography Owen Chadwick was Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge from 1968 to 1983. He has written many books, including "The Reformation," "The Victorian Church," "The Popes and European Revolution," as a result of which he was awarded the Wolfson Prize for history, and "Michael Ramsey," Details ISBN080912694X Author John Cassian Publisher Paulist Press Series Classics of Western Spirituality (Paperback) Language English ISBN-10 080912694X ISBN-13 9780809126941 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 255 Year 1985 Publication Date 1985-08-31 Imprint Paulist Press International,U.S. Country of Publication United States Translated from Latin Translator Colm Luibheid Place of Publication Mahwah Short Title JOHN CASSIAN REV/E Pages 208 Edition Description Revised Edition New edition Subtitle Conferences DOI 10.1604/9780809126941 Audience General/Trade AU Release Date 1985-01-01 NZ Release Date 1985-01-01 US Release Date 1985-01-01 UK Release Date 1985-01-01 We've got thisAt The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.With fast shipping, low prices, friendly service and well over a million items - you're bound to find what you want, at a price you'll love! 30 DAY RETURN POLICYNo questions asked, 30 day returns!
