Description
St. Maximus the Confessor's Questions and Doubts presents for the first time in English one of the Confessor's most significant contributions to early Christian biblical interpretation. Translated by Despina D. Prassas, this work brings together two key traditions: patristic exegetical aporiai and monastic questions and responses. The overarching theme is the importance of the ascetical life, a lifelong endeavor that involves the struggle and discipline to maintain control over one's passions. Prassas provides a rich historical context in her introduction, helping readers understand this work and its significance.
