Description

This book presents a rich collection of key texts from the Fathers and early councils setting out what was once expected in moral and educational terms from aspirants to the clergy in the early Christian centuries. Hitherto students of the early church have had to search for this material in quite a lot of different publications. Here they’ll find it translated and discussed in a comprehensive manner. Even as the recent historical scholarship has been taken into account, the book’s main focus is on the spiritual slightly than the social role of the clergy. It’s the writer’s deepest wish that those aspiring to the Christian priesthood might find here an accurate and vivid account of the virtuous life that are meant to at all times be their goal.
