Desert Father

In The Desert With Saint Anthony

BY JAMES COWAN

Brief Description:
James Cowan's quest to understand the desert spirituality of St Anthony takes him to Egypt, to the monastery that still exists near the site of Anthony's hermitage, where he meets the monk who becomes his guide and mentor on the journey. He comes to regard Anthony and the colorful men and women who shared his lifestyle in the 4th through 7th centuries with affection and awe. Our modern efforts toward liberation may look different from theirs, he concludes, but the ultimate goal is no different, and Anthony remains a luminous model for anyone who passionately seeks to know God.
