In his Collationes Patrum , John Cassian acts as intermediary between different theological and monastic traditions. Dorothee Schenk shows how he connects various - both skeptical and positive - estimations about the value of (traditional) education for monastic life. In doing so, he not only discusses education theoretically but also initiates and accompanies concrete processes of spiritual formation.
