Opis

This book will explore the influences of the Desert Father's theology of work and vocation upon both eastern and western monasticism, concentrating especially upon the Rule of St. Benedict and Benedictine monastic movement that transformed Europe for the next millennia. It will compare Desert Fathers' theology of work to Max Weber's "Protestant work ethic" and .Tocqueville's description of the American work ethic
