Basil of Caesarea

"In this new portrait of Basil of Caesarea, which will certainly win acceptance as the standard work in English, erudition does not blunt perceptiveness: we are brought close to the heart of a man who struggled to reconcile the high calling of his faith with the appalling demands that a fast-changing world imposed on its leaders. This book takes another long stride towards what all Rousseau's earlier work has aimed at--an undogmatic and sympathetic understanding of the fourth-century Church, and the presentation of its great spiritual leaders to new, often unsuspecting audiences."--Garth Fowden, National Hellenic Research FoundationRousseau, Philip is the author of 'Basil of Caesarea' with ISBN 9780520082380 and ISBN 0520082389.
