The Fount of Knowledge is a rare treasure: a summit of early Christian wisdom written in the deep silence of a desert monastery and offered to every seeker of truth. Composed in the eighth century by John of Damascus, the work gathers the tools of Greek philosophy, a cautionary map of mistaken teachings, and a luminous account of the Orthodox Christian faith — God as Trinity, creation and the human soul, the Incarnation, the Church, and the world to come. This faithful modern-English edition sets that inheritance in clear, present-day language, preserving John's calm exactness while letting modern readers enter his world without stumbling over archaic terms. It is an invitation to think deeply, pray simply, and discover why this ancient source of knowledge never stops giving. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
