Contemplative reading is a spiritual practice developed by Christian monks in sixth- and seventh-century Mesopotamia. The Library of Paradise tells the story of this Syriac tradition in three phases: its establishment as an ascetic practice, the articulation of its theology, and its maturation and spread.
