Pomerius teaches that the true and perfect contemplative life can be attained only in heaven through the beautific vision, but that even here below souls who have made the perfect renunciation obtain through hope a participation in the spiritual joys of the other life - a participation that is really a life of contemplation, but of a lower order.

A monumental project which brings the English-speaking work key selections from the remarkable literature of early Christianity -- vertiable trasures of Christian faith and theology in superb translations.
