About this product

Product Information

Give me a word, Father', visitors to early desert monks asked. The responses of these pioneer ascetics were remembered and in the fourth century written down in Coptic, Syriac, Greek, and later Latin. Their Sayings were collected, in this case in the alphabetical order of the monks and nuns who uttered them, and read by generations of Christians as life-giving words that would help readers along the path to salvation.

Reviews
A delightful insight into the lives of ascetics who left all to follow Christ . . . a very readable translation of an important collection of sayings. Sisters Today, . . . the only English translation of the most complete version of the Apophthegmata Patrum, a compilation of sayings from the desert monks of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine in the fourth to sixth century, likely to be widely read and enjoyed for their own sake.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Sayings of the Desert Fathers

    A fascinating compilation of short sayings of the early Christian monks (mostly male, but some female as well) who left "the world" to spend their lives in the desert contemplating Christ and what it means to be a Christian. If you want a window into early Chrsitianity or early monasticism, this is an invaluable resource. It contains short biographies of the writers so you can get a sense of who they were and how they lived. It is not a scholarly work; it is mean to be accessible to the average person. At the same time, some of the ideas presented are challenging for the modern mind. I still haven't recieved my copy - but I will by it elsewhere if I have to. It is simply invaluable.
