Summary

"This book is a study of the life, monastic writings, and spiritual theology of John Cassian (c. 360-435)." "Columba Stewart's book is the first major study of Cassian to be published in twenty years. It begins by establishing Cassian's credibility as a teacher on the basis of his own experience as a monk and his familiarity with the fundamental literary sources. Stewart then turns to Cassian's spiritual theology, paying particular attention to Cassian's view of the monastic journey in eschatological perspective, his teaching on continence and chastity, the Christological basis of biblical interpretation and prayer, his method of unceasing prayer, and his integration of ecstatic experience with an Evagrian theology of prayer." "Cassian the Monk will undoubtedly become the standard work on Cassian's life and teaching, and should be of great interest to students and scholars of early Christianity and the history of spirituality, and to monastic women and men."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
