“The book which describes[...the] remarkable Life [of Saint Arsenios] falls into three parts. In the first, the author tells how it came to be written: how he first became attracted to the subject, how he was actually baptised by the Saint, who foresaw his monastic future, and how he meticulously gathered and sifted material before committing it to paper. [...]The second part is the Life proper, a more or less chronological account of the Saint’s activities and miracles, ending with his falling-asleep in Corfu, with illuminating insights into both his personality and the way in which the Grace of God acted in him. The third part consists of miracles of a rather different nature from those attested in the second part, where they were almost entirely related to the Saint’s power, derived, of course, from Christ Himself, to heal and to immobilise.” —“PROLOGUE”
