English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

The 'Fifty Spiritual Homilies' of Macarius (Pseudo-Macarius) are a well-known work originally written in Greek. While numerous English translations exist (such as the 1921 translation by A.J. Mason and the 1992 Paulist Press edition), these are translations from the original Greek or from Greek-Latin critical editions. There is no evidence of an English translation specifically from a 1580 Dutch edition. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Dutch source text.

Step into a luminous world of ancient mysticism where the human soul is revealed as a noble vessel capable of becoming a literal throne for the Divine. Macarius explores how to navigate the 'Sieve of Satan' and transition from the slavery of sin to an internal Promised Land through the transformative fire of the Holy Spirit.
