A presentation of the teaching and example of Abba Zosimas, a sixth-century Palestinian hermit, based in obedience to the gospel and love of neighbour.

Translated into English for the first time by John Chryssavgis, these Reflections present, with great simplicity, the day-to-day teaching and example of one of the great sixth-century eremitical Fathers of the Palestinian desert. For Abba Zosimas, obedience to the gospel implies a radical disposition of love for the neighbour in every thought, word and action. This is the key to freedom and joy.
