Pambo, Evagrius, Macarius of Egypt and Macarius of Alexandria, the four fathers presented in this volume, were well-known in Alexandria and Lower Egypt some 1600 years ago.

This volume serves as a companion volume to St Macarius the Spiritbearer, also published by SVS Press, which features further insight into Macarius of Egypt. a book within the Popular Patristics series. - from Amzon
