I28-R145-6140_oai2025-11-17 Crostini, Barbara 2018-02-10 The close relationship of a pair of monks, an elder and a young disciple, is analyzed from a recently published apophthegm in an eleventh-century Greek manuscript in Uppsala, Sweden. This narrative is simple in style, but rich in implications for the window it opens on Christian ethics in a semi-solitary monastic context. Human failure highlights patience and forgiveness within a loving relationship. Careful handling of the crisis by the young disciple succeeds in granting the tempted elder, through God’s grace, eternal salvation.

| description |
The close relationship of a pair of monks, an elder and a young disciple, is analyzed from a recently published apophthegm in an eleventh-century Greek manuscript in Uppsala, Sweden. This narrative is simple in style, but rich in implications for the window it opens on Christian ethics in a semi-solitary monastic context. Human failure highlights patience and forgiveness within a loving relationship. Careful handling of the crisis by the young disciple succeeds in granting the tempted elder, through God’s grace, eternal salvation. |
