Christians have been drawn to monastic life nearly as long as
Christianity has existed. Dedicating themselves to prayer,
meditation, and good works, men and women in many diverse times and
places have been willing to abstain from marriage, sexual
relations, and personal ownership to serve God singlemindedly. In
this overview of the Latin tradition, Peter King, emeritus senior
lecturer of medieval history at Saint Andrew's University, leads
readers quickly but deftly along the rugged monastic road from late
antique Egypt to the present day, passing through spectacular
expansion in medieval Europe, dissolution during the Reformation,
retrenchment at the Counter Reformation, condemnation during the
Enlightenment, destruction at the hands of revolutionaries,
refoundation and new vigor during the nineteenth and the ecumenical
twentieth centuries.
