Product Description

""The Monastic Life: From The Fathers Of The Desert To Charlemagne"" is a book written by Thomas W. Allies that explores the history and evolution of monasticism in the Christian tradition. The book traces the origins of monasticism to the early Christian hermits and ascetics of the Egyptian desert, and follows its development through the establishment of monasteries in Europe during the Middle Ages. Allies examines the various forms of monasticism that emerged over time, including the Benedictine, Cistercian, and Carthusian orders, and explores the role that monasticism played in shaping the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual life of Europe during the medieval period. The book also delves into the controversies and debates that surrounded monasticism throughout its history, including criticisms of its perceived worldliness and decadence, as well as its role in the wider Church and society. Overall, ""The Monastic Life"" is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most enduring and influential traditions in Christian history, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, spirituality, and culture.Eighth Volume Of The Formation Of Christendom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
