The Ladder of Divine Ascent was the most widely used handbook of the ascetic life in the ancient Greek Church. Popular among both laity and monastics, it was translated into Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Old Slavonic, and other languages. Written while the author was abbot of the monastery of Catherine on Mount Sinai, it portrays the ascetical life as a ladder which each aspirant must ascend, each step being a virtue to be acquired, or a vice to be surrendered. Its thirty steps reflect the hidden life of Christ himself. Pierre Pourrat in his History of Christian Spirituality calls John Climacus the “most important ascetical theologian of the East.”

John Cassian’s Conferences is a study of the fourth and fifth century Egyptian ideal of the monk. At the turn of the sixth century the Roman rule that formed the bedrock of civil order was in decline. During the chaos of those years, there arose in the deserts of Egypt and Syria monastic movements that offered men and women a radical Christian alternative to dominant Roman society. Learn more about this important period of history and deepen your understanding of the history of the church.

With more than 120 volumes, the Classics of Western Spirituality collection presents readers with a comprehensive library of historical texts on Christian spirituality, and a representative collection of works on Jewish, Islamic, Sufi, and Native American spirituality.

From the writings of Origen of Alexandria in the second century to Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain in the nineteenth century, this collection contains a wealth of spiritual insight from Orthodox Christianity’s most revered figures. In particular, several volumes delve into the traditional Orthodox form of mystical prayer known as “hesychasm.” Featuring modern-day translations of both classic works and lesser known gems—some of which are translated into English for the first time in this series—these volumes seek to bring readers to a more profound and intimate encounter with God.

Modern Christians and Early Christians wrestled with very similar questions.

This collection, which incorporates a wide diversity of theological perspectives, provides titles from famous authors and more obscure writers, as well as anthologies of poetry, mystical writing, apocalyptic literature, and the spiritual writings of particular people groups.
