This book presents a broad sociological perspective on the
contemporary issues facing Christian monasticism. Since the
founding work of Max Weber, the sociology of monasticism has
received little attention. However, the field is now being
revitalized by some new research. Focusing on Christian monks and
nuns, the contributors explore continuity and discontinuity with
the past in what superficially might appear a monolithic tradition.
Contributors speak not only about monasticism in Europe and the
United States but also in Africa and Latin America, a different
landscape where the question of recruitment does not figure among
issues considered as problematic.
