Now that we have a relationship started with St. Vladimir's Seminary Press and the Popular Patristics collection has made it into development, we are all ready for the next step - a contract with Cistercian Publications. (By "all" I mean at least I am).

My suggestion for a first set would be desert materials and then move into the cool medieval volumes. It could contain:

  • Abba Isaiah of Scetis: Ascetic Discourses
  • The Book of the Elders: Sayings of the Desert Fathers: The Systematic Collection
  • Cyril of Scythopolis: The Lives of the Monks of Palestine
  • Dorotheos of Gaza: Discourses and Sayings
  • Evagrius of Pontus: Talking Back (A monastic Handbook for Combating Demons)
  • Benedicta Ward: Harlots of the Desert: A Study of Repentance in Early Monastic Sources
  • The Holy Workshop of Virtue: The Life of John the Little by Zacharias of Sakha
  • Paphnutius: Histories of the Monks of Upper Egypt and the Life of Onnophrius
  • The Reflections of Abba Zosimas: Monk of the Palestinian Desert Spiritual Being
  • Spiritually Beneficial Tales of Paul, Bishop of Monembasia

It has spiritual warfare, harlots ... all the stuff of recent Logos posts.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    This isn't fair! They're selling The Cistercians in Scandinavia at 90% off and Scandinavians aren't allowed to buy! [:'(] Extremely good sale prices, though, for those of you who can profit from them.

    I'm more into the medieval stuff, but your selection would probably sell better at present.

    Logos: make sure to note down those sale prices for the future, and use them in your negotiations! [:D]
