Book Reviews of The Book of Mystical Chapters: Meditations on the Soul's Ascent, from the Desert Fathers and Other Early Christian Contemplatives
Book Review: A lovely translation
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed this book as it gives insight into the early Christian writers. I don't know Greek and greatly appreciate the fact that others have gone to the trouble to make this material available to the English speaking world.
