The Real Cassian Revisited - Monastic Life, Greek Paideia, and Origenism in the Sixth Century

Following the discovery of a new Greek Father, namely, Cassian the Sabaite, who, by means of Medieval forgery, has been heretofore eclipsed by a figment known as 'John Cassian of Marseilles', this book casts new light on the Late Antique interplay between Hellenism and Christianity, sixth century Origenism, and Christian influence upon Neoplatonism.
