In this slim volume, which was originally published in 1904, James Hannay describes the virtues that shaped the lives of the earliest monastics. These virtues, which begin with "being crucified with Christ" and "being dead to the world," are essential to an understanding not only of the desert monastics themselves, but also of the many monastic movements that would follow throughout the centuries. In language very reminiscent of the new monasticism, Hannay repeatedly emphasizes that despite all the mythology that surrounds their lives, these saints were indeed ordinary people with ordinary struggles.
