Vita Patrum: The Life of the Fathers

No writer in the Orthodox Christian West was more devoted to the Saints of Christ's Church nor more prolific in their praises than St. Gregory, Bishop of Tours (539-594). The Vita Patrum is book seven in a series of eight called Books of Miracles. This volume is dedicated to the ascetic strugglers of his native Gaul (France) many of whom he knew personally and some of whom were his close relatives. This book is presented for the first time in the English language through the efforts of the late Father Seraphim Rose. Never before has a single volume so thoroughly revealed the rich spiritual heritage of the Orthodox West.
