Spiritual Classics of the Early Church

This anthology of writings, drawn from five hundred years of spiritual exploration, shows how the early Church Fathers 'kept company with God'.

It witnesses to the continuity of the Christian tradition as it emerged and grew from the era of the Apostles.

In these days of division and cultural fragmentation, this rich heritage constitutes an invaluable resource of learning and wisdom.

Including material from Cyprian, The Desert Tradition, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom, Augustine, Benedict, and Gregory the Great, this collection will inspire and impress contemporary readers with its vitality and variety of thought.
