"Robert Lerner takes us through some little-known byways of millennial thought in the high and late Middle Ages to explore an 'unprecedented theme' introduced by Joachim of Fiore... A remarkable, valuable, and timely book. By painstakingly excavating this unnoticed line of millennial thought in later medieval Christian history, the author has drawn our attention to vital issues and raised important questions."--Speculum "Like all his writing, Robert E. Lerner's The Feast of Saint Abraham is characterized by originality, profound scholarship (especially with regard to new manuscript sources), and by clarity and felicity of style... A fine book."--Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago
