This collection of writings by Matthew the Poor focuses on the living Christ of history: His Nativity, Passion, Resurrection, Ascension, and relation to the Church and the Holy Spirit in dogmatic and ascetical theology. Revealing the essence of the Christian life in simple yet profound images, Matthew's discourses on humility, repentance, asceticism, fasting, suffering, and unity convey the Gospel message in powerful terms to modern man.
About the Author: The twentieth-century elder Abba Matta of Egypt, known in the West as Matthew the Poor, is widely regarded as the greatest Egyptian elder since St. Anthony the Great.
