Common Books Volume IX

Community, dispute, error, departure, vision and what is left at the end.

Volume IX closes the fixed canon with seven books that look directly at communal life and revision. Letters Between Communities, Questions, the Disputed Book, Mistakes and Leaving make room for disagreement and failure before Vision and the Last Book turn toward what is carried forward.

Why this book is here

The final volume refuses to close the canon with artificial neatness. Communities disagree, people make mistakes, some leave, questions remain, and only then do the final visionary and closing texts arrive.
