Description
Book SynopsisA shrewd observer, a master psychologist, an accomplished raconteur, Dorotheos is a learned man with a prodigious capacity for assimilating in an organized harmony the wisdom of his predecessors in the life of the Spirit. The ideal spiritual master to introduce modern readers to the spiritual universe of the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria.
Trade Review. . . no text I know renders the ascetic spirit more accessible to the modern reader.
Religious Studies ReviewDorotheos lets us glimpse a little of the life in his distant time and place . . . He doesn't write about theological abstractions, but about the passions and sins that every one of us recognizes in ourselves, monk or lay. We know what he is talking about.
