Despite its rich history in the Latin tradition, Christian
monasticism began in the east; the wellsprings of monastic culture
and spirituality can be directly sourced from the third-century
Egyptian wilderness. In this volume, John Binns creates a vivid,
authoritative account that traces the four main branches of eastern
Christianity, up to and beyond the Great Schism of 1054 and the
break between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Binns begins by
exploring asceticism in the early church and the establishment of
monastic life in Egypt, led by St Anthony and Pachomius. He
chronicles the expansion, influence and later separation of the
various Orthodox branches, examining monastic traditions and
histories ranging from Syria to Russia and Ethiopia to Asia Minor.
Culminating with both the persecution and the revival of monastic
life, Binns concludes with an argument for both the diversity and
the shared set of practices and ideals between the Orthodox
churches, creating a resource for both cross-disciplinary
specialist and students of religion, history, and spirituality.
