Though the monastic writings of St John Cassian have been
enduringly popular, his reputation (not least as a theological
author) has been seriously compromised. A. M. C. Casiday begins
with an evaluation of conventional ideas about Cassian and, finding
them seriously flawed, offers the first sustained attempt at
re-reading Cassian's works for their theological significance.
Specific attention is called to the Christological aspects of
Cassian's monastic anthropology. Throughout, reference is made to
Cassian's contemporaries - both well-known figures like Augustine
of Hippo, Evagrius Ponticus, Vincent of L rins, and Nestorius, and
lesser-known figures such as Prosper of Aquitaine, Valerian of
Cimiez, and Paul of Tamma - in order to offer an analysis of
Cassian's writings and their significance that is unencumbered by
anachronism.
