Simeon_Stylites who had spent four decades living on a pillar and inspired a bunch of other people to do the same.

> In this last and lofty station, the Syrian Anachoret resisted the heat of thirty summers, and the cold of as many winters. Habit and exercise instructed him to maintain his dangerous situation without fear or giddiness, and successively to assume the different postures of devotion. He sometimes prayed in an erect attitude, with his outstretched arms in the figure of a cross, but his most familiar practice was that of bending his meagre skeleton from the forehead to the feet; and a curious spectator, after numbering twelve hundred and forty-four repetitions, at length desisted from the endless account. The progress of an ulcer in his thigh might shorten, but it could not disturb, this celestial life; and the patient Hermit expired, without descending from his column

best how?
most holy, most knowledgeable...what?

In any case I'm going to have to go with Augustine. Defending Christianity for an entire empire and slamming pagans who would disagree, very impressive.

Jerome is also up there, if only for his incredibly extensive works of history.
