Conclusion
Marcus Plested is Principal, Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies (Cambridge Theological Federation) and Research Associate in the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge.
Plested's work does a considerable service in opening up the
Macarian legacy to detailed scrutiny, and should serve to encourage
scholars interested in sympathetic appraisal of the tradition to
undertake a deeper exploration of its early representatives,
particularly those who have received less attention to date.
