The Sayings/Works of St. Isaac the Syrian
Book •
The writings of St. Isaac the Syrian (Isaac of Nineveh) are treasured for their deep mystical theology, pastoral sensitivity, and focus on the heart's longing for God. Composed in the 7th century, his sayings and homilies address repentance, humility, mercy, and the transformative power of divine love.
Isaac's works stress that true asceticism awakens desire for communion with God rather than mere self-denial, and he often speaks poetically about the soul's longing.
His influence extends across East and West, informing monastic practice and contemplative theology.
Readers find in Isaac profound encouragement toward interior stillness and compassionate prayer.
