"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.

Seller's Description:
New. To anyone cognizant of St. Basil's importance in the life of Eastern Christendom, the appearance of this book is an important event. No claim is made that this is a straightforward biography of the man; rather, it is an examination of the central elements of his development and ministry, an attempt to discern his personality, his concept of what it meant to be a bishop in a time when the role of the episcopacy was still immature and fluid. There are many elements of St. Basil's life that claim our attention--his extraordinary family, his foundational role in the formation of cenobitic monasticism, his contribution to the final defeat of Arianism and the formulation of Trinitarian orthodoxy, his devotion to the Church's participation in relieving the plight of the poor--and Rousseau does not fail to enlarge our understanding of any of them. Garth Fowden has said it well: ''In this new portrait of Basil of Caesarea...rudition 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.
