Review

I have no doubt that this work is an important contribution to scholarship on the early Christian Church... Casiday's Tradition and theology in St. John Cassian has a great scholarly merit and is strongly recommended for all those interested in the early development of monasticism and the part played by John Cassian in that tradition. Dr Rodney Moss, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae ...valuable in many ways. William Harmless, Ecclesiatical History [An] outstanding reappraisal of Cassian...this volume filled with numerous insights and blessed with graceful and pellucid writing, does not remotely read like the revised doctoral dissertation that it is; it has not only the dissertation's requisite learning but also the added luxuriousness of a stylist's careful and challenging though comfortable - and even witty - exposition. Tim Vivian, Sobornost Casiday's Tradition and Theology in St John Cassian is an important book. It will help awaken us from the dogmatic slumber Prosper of Aquitaine has cast over us, and allow us a new appreciation of Cassian. M.A. Claussen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
