The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life

trans. Sebastian Brock

An important collection of writings from and about the Fathers of an Orthodox tradition all but unknown in the West. Neither Russian nor Greek, but rather an independent strand of tradition, cut off by the persecutions and invasions and occupations which beset the East throughout most of the centuries since the fall of Constantinople and even before: a voice we need to hear to understand the fullness of Orthodoxy.
