This book surveys the full panorama of ten centuries of Christian
monastic life. It moves from the deserts of Egypt and the Frankish
monasteries of early medieval Europe to the religious ruptures of
the eleventh and twelfth centuries and the reforms of the later
Middle Ages. Throughout that story the book balances a rich sense
of detail with a broader synthetic view. It presents the history of
religious life and its orders as a complex braid woven from
multiple strands: individual and community, spirit and institution,
rule and custom, church and world. The result is a synthesis that
places religious life at the center of European history and
presents its institutions as key catalysts of Europe's move toward
modernity.
