TradCatKnight Exclusive: "The Endtimes According to St. Nilus"
Nilus the elder, of Sinai (died c. 430), was one of the many disciples
and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom. From his monastery at
Sinai Nilus was a wellknown person throughout the Eastern Church; by his
writings and correspondence he played an important part in the history
of his time. He was known as a theologian, Biblical scholar and ascetic
writer, so people of all kinds, from the emperor down, wrote to consult
him. His numerous works, including a multitude of letters, consist of
denunciations of heresy, paganism, abuses of discipline and crimes, of
rules and principles of asceticism, especially maxims about the
religious life. He warns and threatens people in high places, abbots and
bishops, governors and princes, even the emperor himself, without fear.
Nilus must be counted as one of the leading ascetic writers of the
fifth century.
