Ă propos de ce livre
Approaches to Monasticism in the Context of Christian
Responses to Modern Culture is a study of how the values and
practices of monasticism are being shaped by the shift to a
cultural understanding of Christianity in modern times. The
values and practices of traditional monasticism are
contrasted with those of various expressions of new
monasticism against the background of a multicultural and
fluid social environment in an effort to find some
reciprocal illumination. The study aims to describe
monasticism in terms of authenticity and lived religion. Kevin Maddy was educated at Cambridge
University and has recently completed a PhD at Radboud
University, Nijmegen. He currently works in Canterbury as an
Anglican parish priest, and is a probationary member of the
Society of the Resurrection.
