The Life of Saint Antony

A foremost classic of Christian asceticism, presenting the spiritual story of Saint Antony of Egypt, the ‘Father of All Monks.’ Written by Athanasius of Alexandria at the request of the desert monks of Egypt to provide ‘an ideal pattern of the ascetic life,’ it immediately became astonishingly popular. This revised edition by the Holy Nativity Press has been diligently arranged to clearly illuminate the beauty of the treasure found within.
