Pachomius, who died in 346, has long been regarded as the "founder
of monasticism." Available again, Philip Rousseau's careful reading
of the available texts reveals that Pachomius's pioneering
enterprise has been consistently misread in light of later monastic
practices. Rousseau not only provides a fuller and more accurate
portrait of this great teacher and spiritual director but also
gives a new perspective on the development of monasticism. In a new
preface Rousseau reviews the scholarly developments that have
modified his views and emphases since the book was published. The
result is to make Pachomius an even less assured pioneer, a man
likely to have been more involved in the village and urban society
of his time than previously thought.
