Discernment in the Desert Fathers (Studies in Christian History and Thought) (Studies in Christian History and Thought) Revised edition
Antony D. Rich
This book is a study of discernment in the life and thought of the fourth- and fifth-century Egyptian desert fathers. Rich argues that for them discernment was a critical faculty and charism central to the spiritual and practical life of these early monks and nuns in their mystical search for God, for purity of life and knowledge of him.
