Gottfried Arnold's 'Denkmahl des alten Christenthums' (1716) is a German edition and Pietist commentary on the Spiritual Homilies of Pseudo-Macarius. While the underlying Greek homilies have been translated into English by various scholars (e.g., George A. Maloney), Arnold's specific German text, which includes his unique prefaces, commentary, and emblematic interpretations, has never been translated into English.

About This Book

theologymysticism

Step into the searing world of the desert fathers, where faith was not a ritual but a 'prolonged death by martyrdom' that birthed an internal glory. Discover how the mystical wisdom of St. Macarius dismantles the hollow forms of 'New Christianity' to reveal the soul as a living throne for the Divine.
