The Reflections of Abba Zosimas

Publisher Description

Translated for the first time, these Reflections present with great simplicity the day to day teaching and example of one of the great sixth-century Fathers of the Palestinian desert. For Abba Zosimas, obedience to the gospel involves a radical disposition of love towards one's neighbour in thought, word and action. For him, this is the key to freedom and joy - surely a message for today's troubled times of tension between ethnic and religious groups.
