The sayings of the Desert Fathers : the alphabetical collection

Alternate Title: Apophthegmata Patrum. English .

Description: The fourth-century ascetic flight to the desert indelibly marked Christianity. The faithful who did not embrace the austerity of the desert admired those who did and sought them out for counsel and consolation. The 'words' the monks gave were collected and passed around among those too far a way or too feeble to make the trek themselves--or lived generations later. Previously available only in fragments, these Sayings of the Desert Fathers are now accessible in its entirety in English for the first time. -- from back cover
