SUGGESTION: How to read the early church fathers

MJ. Smith

The work of Roberta C. Bondi is one of the best introductions to the applied reading of the desert fathers:

• Memories of God: Theological Reflections on a Life
• To Love as God Loves
• To Pray and to Love
• A Place to Pray

These will definitely build the market for the desert fathers and mothers.

I'd be very interested. I first heard of Antony my first year of post-grad. Very intrigued and humbled at the same time. So impacted by his life that for a week I hid myself in the Rockies and didn't show up to classes.

Not really, but quite the life. I actually started to do a commentary and translation of his writings, but unfortunately I couldn't afford the time.

Good suggestion.
