Brakke turns his considerable skill...to a subject of crucial importance for understanding early Christian monastic spirituality: the monk's battle with the demons. It is the singular contribution of this outstanding book to lay bare the roots of this important idea and to delineate the astonishing range of expressions to which it gave rise in early monasticism. One of the virtues of Brakke's disciplined historical analysis is that we come to see that neither "spiritual combat," nor "demons" meant one thing in early monastic experience. Rather, there were intricate and subtle differences between and among different authors, schools, and monastic traditions concerning what it meant to struggle with demons. It is Brakke's stated aim to investigate the idea of "spiritual combat" in all its complexity and variety, to understand how theological assumptions, ecclesial location, philosophical orientation, literary genre and other matters affected this crucial idea., Brakke turns his considerable skill...to a subject of crucial importance for understanding early Christian monastic spirituality: the monk'e(tm)s battle with the demons.

This was a pretty good deal even though I already have one of the books and had already read four more (but back in 2009). I love this author so I'll just re-read the books. Order arrived when the seller predicted.
