In contrast to the formalized and official theology of the "founding fathers" of the Church, they were ordinary Christians who chose to renounce the world and live lives of celibacy, fasting, vigil, prayer, and poverty in direct and simple response to the gospel.First recorded in the fourth century, their Sayings—consisting of spiritual advice, anecdotes, parables, and reflections on life—influenced the rule of St. Benedict, set the pattern for Western monasticism, and have inspired centuries of poetry, opera, and art.”Here we have The Desert Fathers: Sayings of the Early Christian Monks translated with an introduction by Benedicta Ward and published by Penguin Classics. This paperback is bound in a glued perfect binding on non-acid free paper. The text-size is medium and it’s printed in the UK. The book has an introduction, further reading, and a note on the text.
