The Desert a City and on the chief errors

and on the chief errors that have sought to change or undermine this veneration: both ancient heresies and the later deviations of Western Christendom

bringing us rather the genuine tradition of the Apostles and the holy Church

translated from the Septuagint and the Greek Psalterion authorized by the Church of Greece

but according to the obligation of my rank I have to comfort those who turn to me

it is a real attempt to grapple with the true God

The Desert a City and on the chief errorsDerwas Chitty The story of the development of desert monasticism in the early centuries of the Church's life, told with attention to scholarly detail, and yet with a passionate concern for the story which removes the book far from the dry and dusty character of too much "history".
