Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on ascetic letters from fourth-century Egyptian bishops and monks, Bernadette McNary-Zak argues for their significance as primary sources alongside traditional hagiographies. The book examines notable figures such as Ammonas, Antony, and Athanasius, while also exploring the Antonian and Pachomian movements and the authorship of the Life of Antony. McNary-Zak highlights the importance of these letters in understanding desert asceticism, making it a valuable resource for theology and history scholars, as well as students researching this area.
