Cassian the Monk (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology)
"In addition to chastity, Stewart has good chapters on prayer and the use of the bible in Cassian. Although he cannot cover every aspect of Cassian's massive teaching, these three topics are probably the key ones. And Stewart has mastered them as completely as anyone I have read. This is a tour de force."--Terrence G. Kardong, O.S.B.,THe Catholic Historical Review"The major contribution of the book is its use of Cassian's two major treatises for the monks under his instruction: his Institutes and his Conferences.  Stewarts's knowledge of these texts, the details of monastic life, and the theological themes of the time are outstanding."--Ashland TheologicalJournal
