https://www.gorgiaspress.com/the-ascent-of-the-spirit
Title: The Ascent of the Spirit: An Annotated and Expanded Edition of The Release of the Spirit, by Pope Shenouda III
Author: Shenouda III Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St Mark; Translated by Mena Joseph Basta
Price: $95 (New Releases price $76)
Publisher: Gorgias Press
Language: English
ISBN: 978-1-4632-5015-7
Cover: Hardback/eBook
The Ascent of the Spirit is the first complete English translation and critical edition of the early spiritual writings of Nazir Gayed, who would later become Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria. Composed during his years as a layman before becoming a monk in the Egyptian desert, this collection—comprising theological essays, ascetical meditations, and over thirty spiritual poems—reveals the intense interiority and mystical longing that shaped his later leadership. This edition offers a fresh translation from the original Arabic, enriched by a historical introduction and a foreword by Rev. Dr. Tim Vivian. By situating Shenouda’s early work within the broader context of Coptic Orthodox theology and global Christian spirituality, The Ascent of the Spirit serves as both a devotional treasury and a vital primary source for scholars of Eastern Christianity.
