The course begins by looking at the origins of Christian monasticism during the third century CE, when thousands of men and women renounced the world and withdrew to the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine to seek God in a life of solitude and prayer. What inspired them to do this? What were they trying to achieve? In seeking answers to these questions, we will examine the lives and sayings of the so-called "desert fathers", with a particular emphasis on the theological writings of Evagrius of Pontus (c. 345-399).

When the Student is Ready
Revisado: 12-10-21
Studying Thomas Merton's book "The Wisdom of the Desert" led to a deeper thirst for the wisdom of the desert mothers and fathers. I took a chance on this book and have found it to be extremely helpful and insightful. I facilitate Enneagram workshops and recently studied Richard Rohr's video series on Discerning Spirits and this book has shed added light on both Rohr's discussions and the value of discerning spirits or thoughts in our journey along our spiritual path. There is harmony among the teachings of these few that I have mentioned (as well as others) which indicates to me a shared wisdom valuable for others.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 51
It has been said that this work by Henry Scougal was "almost universally praised by the leaders of the Great Awakening". It is a piece of literature that has been used by God to influence the souls of men for the glory of Christ. Regardless of the times we live in, the great works of the men of God of old are still applicable today. In an age of lukewarm believers, we need the fire of God to burn us afresh and give us a clear vision of his holy will.

Very Helpful
Revisado: 05-31-20
I'm researching the prayer life of John Wesley because I read that Wesley was a mystic which I found hard to believe and it was mentioned that this book was foundational for his beliefs. It was very helpful and gave context to Wesley's ministry and the mystical precepts that really did show up in this book and not surprisingly Wesley's sermons and Journal. I also found it personally enlightening and I'm thank my path led me to it. -scott

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 59
Fifteen-hundred years ago, St. Benedict established a system of ora et labora prayer and work that monastics still follow today. Central to this prayerful integration of body and spirit is psalmody, or chanting the psalms. On Singing the Psalms, Episcopal priest Cynthia Bourgeault shows how the psalms can awaken rich spiritual and psychological insights accessible to you today, whatever your level of vocal skill or theological understanding.

A Much Appreciated Perspective
Revisado: 04-27-20
While participating in one of Cynthia's Introductory Wisdom Schools I listened to this book. I've added the Psalms to my times of devotion and it is definitely enriching my times of devotion. Cynthia provides a concrete historical framework for the practices outlined in the book as well as many examples of chanting. I highly recommend it. -scott
