About this listen

 Delve into the rich world of Coptic literature with this compelling collection of ten Greek homilies on critical themes such as fasting, repentance, the end of the world, and the Incarnation. Attributed to notable figures like John the Faster, Athanasius of Alexandria, Proclus of Cyzicus, Eusebius, Basil of Caesarea, and Archbishop Theophilus, these texts, written in the dialect of Upper Egypt, are not only linguistically significant but also provide a treasure trove of insight for Egyptologists. Theologically, they shed light on Egyptian Christianity, revealing the beliefs and discussions that flourished among monastic communities regarding faith and works.
