The Macarian writings are among the most important and influential
works of the early Christian ascetic and mystical tradition. This
book offers an introduction to the work of Macarius-Symeon
(commonly referred to as Pseudo-Macarius), outlining the lineaments
of his teaching and the historical context of his works. The book
goes on to examine and re-evaluate the complex question of his
relationship with the Messalian tendency and to explore the nature
of his theological and spiritual legacy in the later Christian
tradition. In so doing the book also offers substantial treatments
of the work of Mark the Monk, Diadochus of Photice, Abba Isaiah,
and Maximus Confessor. It stands therefore not only as an
exploration of the teaching and legacy of Macarius-Symeon but also
as a chapter in the history of the Christian spiritual tradition.
