This is a study of the life, monastic writings and spiritual theology of John Cassian (c.365-430). Cassian''s writings were the bridge between eastern monasticism and the developing Latin monasticism of Southern Gaul, and exerted a major influence on the Rule of Benedict and the theology of Gregory the Great.
