"From Monastery to Hospital "traces the origin of the late Roman
hospital to the earliest groups of Christian monastics. Often
characterized as holy men and miracle-workers who transformed late
antique spirituality, monks held an equally significant impact on
the development of medicine in Late Antiquity. Andrew Crislip
illuminates the innovative approaches to health care within the
earliest monasteries that provided the model for the greatest
medical achievement of Late Antiquity: the hospital.
"From Monastery to Hospital "draws on some of the most vibrant
areas of scholarship of the ancient world, including asceticism,
the study of the body, history of the family, and the history of
medicine. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of
early Christianity, Roman History, the history of medicine, and
Catholic, Coptic, and Eastern Orthodox history and theology. It
will also be of interest to the broader field of history of
Christianity, especially with its connections to charitable
traditions in the church through the modern period.
Andrew Crislip is Assistant Professor of Religion at the University
of Hawaii.
