Course Description: Dominated by the figure of St Anthony the Great, the Desert Fathers viewed themselves as 'athletes for Christ' who entered the Desert of Scetes in Egypt to do battle with demons and their own fallibilities and spiritual weaknesses. A literature of great practical wisdom, the writings and meditations of the Desert Fathers, from the Apophthegmata Patrum, the Collations of St John Cassian, the Dialogues of Sulpicius Severus, and the biography of St Anthony the Great will form the basis of this reading course.
