The growing scholarly attention in recent years to the religious world of late antiquity has focused new attention on the quest for holiness by the strange, compelling, often obscure early Christian monks known as the desert fathers. Yet until now, little attention has been given to one of the most vital dimensions of their spirituality: their astute, penetrating interpretation of Scripture. Rooted in solitude, cultivated in an atmosphere of silence, oriented toward the practical appropriation of the sacred texts, the desert fathers' hermeneutic profoundly shaped every aspect of their lives and became a significant part of their legacy. This book explores the setting within which the early monastic movement emerged, the interpretive process at the center of the desert fathers' quest for holiness, and the intricate patterns of meaning woven into their words and their lives.

The Word in the Desert is an account of conservative reaction to the reform of liturgical language in the Western Church over the last 30 years. It is the first such study of this very significant phenomenon which has affected the worship and spirituality of millions of Christians of all denominations and been the source of widespread and persisting controversy. In his informed and well-researched analysis, Barry Spurr explores the linguistic and sociological implications of reform in the two great traditions of the West - the Roman Catholic and Anglican liturgies - as well as pursuing theological and historical issues. With chapters on the response of clergy and congregations to the sweeping away of the Tridentine mass and the Book of Common Prayer, on the impact of radical feminism on liturgical language, and the effect of the reforms on Church Music, the book is important reading for both clergy and laity. Dr. Spurr was moved to write this account by his own dissatisfaction with experimentation and the 'linguistic demolition' of the Anglican liturgy, and also to draw attention to the extent to which his perceptions are shared.

`Give me a word, Father', visitors to early desert monks asked. The responses of these pioneer ascetics were remembered and in the fourth century written down in Coptic, Syriac, Greek, and later Latin. Their Sayings were collected, in this case in the alphabetical order of the monks and nuns who uttered them, and read by generations of Christians as life-giving words that would help readers along the path to salvation.

Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland, and Word features an English translation of a recently discovered and until-now unpublished essay of Jacques Ellul's that examines the significance of the desert from biblical, theological, and ethical perspectives. It also provides an introduction that contextualizes Ellul's piece, and five incendiary essays that critically reflect on Ellul's work. Altogether, this volume offers fresh and provocative insight into the writings of Jacques Ellul during a historical moment that appears to be on its way to, or already in, a desert, wilderness, and wasteland, with many people in it who are desperate for encounters with a new, revitalizing Word.
