Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most fascinating women saints of the early Church, Macrina was the elder sister and mentor of two of the great Cappadocian Fathers, Bishop Basil the Great, and Gregory of Nyssa. She was also described as "father, teacher, guide, and mother" to her youngest brother, Bishop Peter of Sebaste, the posthumous child of St. Basil the Elder. Macrina, having tragically lost her fiancee, remained a virgin, true to his memory, never leaving the side of her mother, St. Emmelia. Deeply philosophic, she inspired her brothers to become leaders in the early church and to love the intellectual life and the pursuit of perfection through her teaching. She founded one of the first monastic communities for women and is the patroness of breast cancer victims. Macrina and her family of saints and martyrs lived through challenging age of the Great Persecution of the Christians in the Roman Empire and experienced the golden age of the Emperor Constantine the Great.

Book Synopsis Cassian the Monk by : Columba Stewart
Download or read book Cassian the Monk written by Columba Stewart and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the life, monastic writings, and spiritual theology of John Cassian (c., 360-435). His Institutes and Conferences are a remarkable synthesis of earlier monastic traditions, especially those of fourth-century Egypt, informed throughout by Cassian's awareness of the particular needs of the Latin monastic movement he was helping to shape. Sometimes portrayed as simply an advocate of the sophisticated spiritual theology of Evagrius of Ponticus (360-435), Cassian was actually a theologian of keen insight, realism, and creativity. His teaching on sexuality is unique in early monastic literature in both its breadth and its depth, and his integration of biblical interpretation with the ways of prayer and teaching on ecstatic prayer are of fundamental importance for the western monastic tradition. The only Latin writer included in the classic Greek collections of monastic sayings, Cassian was the major spiritual influence on both the Rule of the Master and the Rule of Benedict, as well as the source for Gregory the Great's teaching on capital sins and compunction. 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.
