The Rule of St. Benedict
ISBN: 9780486457963 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In addition to its importance in the organization and spread of Western monasticism, this volume also offers sound suggestions for readers outside the abbey. Benedict explores issues...

The Early Humiliati
ISBN: 9780521027144 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Using a wide range of sources, the nature of the early movement and its processes of institutional development are reconstructed. The book also includes a Bullarium Humiliatorum, a list of papal and episcopal letters and privileges.

Athanasius and Asceticism
ISBN: 9780801860553 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is often assumed that early Christian asceticism drew its followers completely away from worldly concerns into the realm of pure spirituality. But the life and thought of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria (AD 328-73), shows just how worldly--and deeply political--ascetic theology could be. David Brakke examines this important church leader's efforts to reconcile asceticism's compelling intensity with the more conventional needs of the families and everyday believers on whom the Church relied for support and stability. Brakke describes how Athanasius joined with other fourth century...
