Between the deep valley which contains the Jordan river and the
Dead Sea, and the hill country of Judea, in which Jerusalem and
Bethlehem are situated, lies a narrow stretch of desert which
evokes memories of great Biblical ascetics - Elijah and John the
Baptist. The empty landscape and scriptural associations drew
Christian ascetics in the third century. The new edition of this
work by Cyril of Scythopolis provides perhaps our best source of
information on the Palestinian monastic movement from AD 400-600.
He gives a history not only of holy monks, but also of the
Palestinian Church at the height of its power and prestige.
