SPIRITUAL DIRECTION IN THE EARLY CHRISTIAN EAST
Author: IRENEE HAUSHERR, S J , WITH AN INTRO BY BISHOP KALLISTOS ( WARE ) OF DIOKLEIA
#: 1852
A comprehensive study of spiritual fatherhood and motherhood, showing its origins in early Christian monasticism. "A revival of the practice of spiritual direction has always preceded periods of spiritual growth and it is hoped that contemporary interest in this ancient discipline may be deepened through contact with the ancient abbas and ammas who shared their experience of God by 'giving a word' to their disciples.
