Cassian's Conferences: Scriptural Interpretation and the Monastic Ideal - Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies
Christopher J. Kelly
Cassian intended the scriptures and, implicitly, the Conferences to be the voices of authority and orthodoxy in the Gallic environment. This book explores Cassian's use of scripture in the Conferences, especially its biblical models to convey his understanding of the desert ideal to the monastic communities of Gaul.
