In his Ascetics, Authority, and the Church in the Age of Jerome and
Cassian, first published in 1978, Philip Rousseau presents a survey
of asceticism in the western church until about 400, including a
selective study of Jerome, and then, moving into the fifth century,
a reading of Sulpicius and Cassian. Rousseau explores such societal
changes as the eventual triumph of the coenobitic movement and its
growing effect within the church, not least on the episcopate. He
focuses primarily on the development among ascetics of a certain
concept of spiritual authority; on the attraction of that concept
for a wider audience; and on its enduring formulation within a
literary tradition of great influence. For this second edition,
Rousseau has supplied a new introduction, with extensive
bibliographical references, that charts the ways in which
scholarship on early Christian asceticism has developed since his
compelling and influential original argument. For this second
edition, Rousseau has supplied a new introduction with extensive
bibliographical references in which he charts the ways in which
