Description: This translation is based on the text printed by Migne—patrologia Graeca 88.

The Ladder of Divine Ascent was the most widely used handbook of the ascetic life in the ancient Greek Church.

The ascetical life is portrayed as a ladder which each aspirant must ascend, each step being a virtue to be acquired, or a vice to be surrendered.

This work had a fundamental influence on the development of Christian Monasticism and the Jesus Prayer, or Prayer of the Heart movement.
