"I wasn’t planning to do another post on this theme, but then I ran across these two homilies of Basil the Great, which are not widely available in English. So I thought I’d toss them out there.
"This translation is one made by one Kent Berghuis for his doctoral dissertation Christian Fasting: A Theological Approach. The entire dissertation is available online here. The sermons themselves are in an appendix here. Berghuis
uses some colloquial speech in the translation, as well as contractions - which you usually don't find in writings of this sort. But as I read
it, it did give me a better sense of the homily as a spoken piece,
rather than simply ancient writing."
In a recent commentary, writer Amy Welborn reflected on some of Saint Basil the Great's thoughts regarding the role of fasting in our lives.
