In re-examining the Christianization of the Roman Empire and
subsequent transformation of Graeco-Roman classical culture, this
volume challenges conventional ways of understanding both the
history of Christian monasticism and the history of education. The
chapters interrogate assumptions that have framed monastic practice
as pedagogically unprecedented, with few obvious precursors and/or
parallels. A number explore how both teaching and practice merge
classical pedagogical structures with Christian sources and
traditions. Others re-situate monasticism within a longer
trajectory of educational and institutional frameworks, elucidating
models that remain central to the preservation of both Greek and
Latin literary culture, and the skills of reading and writing.
Through re-examination of archaeological evidence and critical
re-reading of signature monastic texts, each documents the degree
to which monastic structures emerged in close alignment with urban,
literate society, and retain established affinity with classical
rhetorical and philosophical school traditions.
