Maximos

Meer over het boek

One of the Orthodox Church's greatest saints, Maximos the Confessor, comes vibrantly to life in this moving historical novel of seventh-century Constantinople. Born into immense wealth and privilege, and blessed with a pious temperament and the keenest of intellects, Maximos from an early age lived at the center of world-shaking events. With the empire in decline and the Church under attack, the future Saint was called to serve his emperor even though in his soul he longed to serve God.--Publisher.
