Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers (Book 3) (The Rule of Pachomius at Tabenna)

by Palladius

Palladius's "Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers" (Book 3) provides a glimpse into the lives and practices of early Christian monks living in the Egyptian desert. The text focuses specifically on the Rule of Pachomius, a significant figure in early monasticism who established a communal monastic community at Tabenna. This work offers insights into the daily routines, spiritual disciplines, and challenges faced by these early Christians who sought a life dedicated to prayer, solitude, and service to God. It is a valuable historical and theological resource for those interested in the origins and development of Christian monasticism.
