This book is a study of discernment in the life and thought of the fourth- and fifth-century Egyptian desert fathers. Rich argues that for them discernment was a critical faculty and charism central to the spiritual and practical life of these early monks and nuns in their mystical search for God, for purity of life and knowledge of him.
