From the jacket flap
"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. This book takes another long stride towards what all Rousseau's earlier work has aimed atan undogmatic and sympathetic understanding of the fourth-century Church, and the presentation of its great spiritual leaders to new, often unsuspecting audiences."Garth Fowden, National Hellenic Research Foundation"

Quarto in black and blue illus jacket; xix, 412 pages : map ; 25 cmbibliographical references (pages 365-389) and indexes. "Basil of Caesarea is thought of most often as an opponent of heresy and a pioneer of monastic life in the eastern church.
