The Sayings and Stories of the Desert Fathers and Mothers offers a new translation of the Greek alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum, The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. For the first time in an English translation, this second volume provides information from I–Z (Zêta). “A great achievement.” V. Revd. Prof. John A McGuckin Professor, Oxford University “Speaking to us over a distance of some 1700 years, Tim Vivian continues to bring to life the profound but truly human stories and personalities of the Desert Fathers and Mothers. This volume, like the first, provides nourishment for the mind and spirit and transports us to an exciting new place that is strangely compelling!” Lisa Agaiby, St. Athanasius College, University of Divinity “Scholars of early Christianity can no longer tell the story of the first centuries of the Church without referencing the unique role of the apophthegmata and so much of their availability is because of Tim Vivian.” Greg Peters, Biola University and Nashotah House Theological Seminary
