The Word in the Desert

by Douglas Burton-Christie

This excellent book examines the influence of Holy Scripture on the extant sayings attributed to the famous monastic Fathers of the Egyptian desert in the fourth and fifth centuries. The book is well researched and filled with Scriptural quotes to show how the very literal Scriptural inpretations of the Desert Fathers shaped the very fabric of their lives, and how they, in turn, have shaped the spirituality of the Christian Church today.

This is a seminal work for anyone who wants to understand how the Desert Fathers interpreted Holy Scripture and applied these interpretations to their own lives. This book deserves a prominent place in any serious Christian's library on Christian Spirituality, right next to The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. For more information click here!
