#1207: Part 1, The Life of Antony by St. Athanasius

The Life of St. Anthony of Egypt, written by St. Athanasius, was one of the most popular books among early Christians. It also helped make the budding desert monasticism movement wildly popular with Christians throughout the ancient world, as they saw a way that led to holiness in a world suddenly unthreatened by pagans’ persecution unto martyrdom.

Part 1 introduces us to St. Anthony, and shows us his motivation and early inspirations in living a holy life according to the evangelical counsels.

    For some reason, the link is broken. The link here is the same as the one you’d get if search on IA. Maybe it’ll just “fix” itself later?
