Heiligkeit und Gemeinschaft

The Väterbuch [Lives of the Desert Fathers] is the first German translation of the writings of the early Christian desert monks. The book develops the historical roots of the German text and presents the individual parts of the Väterbuch. The study examines the transformations that took place in moving from Latin to the vernacular, casting light on ascetic literature in general as well as the features specific to the Väterbuch.
