Finding the Monk Within

Great Monastic Values for Today

By: Edward Cletus Sellner

Finding the Monk Within is written with the conviction that lying deep within every person and underlying much of contemporary western and eastern cultures is an ancient memory, a vital archetypal energy related to monasticism and its spirituality. This book recovers that monastic memory, the living presence of the past, for those who desire to name and incorporate monastic values: values of solitude and silence, faith and compassion, friendship and mentoring, contemplation and leadership itself. The author examines the social and religious dimensions in the fourth century that gave rise to monasticism, then looks at Christian leaders from late antiquity to the medieval period associated with monasticism in both East and West who have much to teach about monastic values and their relevance for today, among them Antony, the "first monk," Augustine and Jerome, John Cassian, Brigit of Kildare and early Celtic monasticism, Gregory the Great, Benedict and Scholastica and, finally, Bernard of Clairvaux. "By studying the history of monasticism and its great heroes we come to realize that, for the Christian, much of what we call 'monastic' is purely and simply what being a follower of Christ is all about, and that being a monk, whether inside monastic enclosures or outside 'in the world, ' is simply becoming the sort of person everyone ought to be, a person who unites action and contemplation in the care of souls," writes the author. By becoming familiar with the stories and thought of these inspirational figures, readers will be inspired to incorporate monastic perspectives and values into their own lives. +

Traditional Catholic Religious Orders

Living in Community

By: Edward Wynne

Catholic religious orders are probably the longest-lived voluntary institution in Western society. This book is the first single-volume history and interpretation of the lives of those who have lived in such orders--as monks, sisters, brothers, and priests--since their earliest beginnings in the First Century A.D. It is also an analysis of the organizational and intellectual structures that have given such institutions their remarkable vitality. These religious communities have appeared, persisted, mutated, merged, and expired. The author shows us that despite these rich variations, there has been a noteworthy consistency in important themes, including living in community, and maintenance of the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. He asks: How did human beings go about living lives dedicated to these aims? To what degree were they attained, and how did they do it? Did they tend to be warped and neurotic persons? And, if their lives frequently projected a tone of wholesome purpose, what implications do such patterns have for our era? Wynne also examines the many ways traditional Catholic orders have participated in educational and welfare efforts, Europe, America, and elsewhere. This remarkable account of the rich and complex patterns of institutional religious development furthers our understanding of the nature of human beings and their social organizations. Edward A. Wynne is a professor of education at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle. He is a sociologist specializing in the analysis of institutions that shape human values and conduct. He is the author and editor of six books including Character Policy: An Emerging Issue; Social Security: A Reciprocity System Under Stress; Looking at Schools: Good, Bad, and Indifferent; and Growing Up Suburban.

The Papacy and the Orthodox

Sources and History of a Debate

Siecienski masterfully brings together all of the biblical, patristic, and historical material necessary to understand this longstanding debate.

Newman and His Contemporaries

Newman and His Contemporaries

By: Edward Short

This is a book on John Henry Newman's influence on some of the most fascinating characters of the 19th century - and their influence on him. No one in nineteenth-century England had a more varied circle of friends and contacts than John Henry Newman (1801-1890), the priest, theologian, educator, philosopher, poet and writer, who began his career as an Anglican, converted to Catholicism and ended his days a Cardinal. That he was also a leading member of the Oxford Movement, brought the Oratory to England, founded the Catholic University in Dublin and corresponded with men and women from all backgrounds from around the world made him a figure of enormous interest to his contemporaries. In this study of Newman's personal influence, Edward Short looks closely at some of Newman's relations with his contemporaries to show how this prophetic thinker drew on his personal relationships to develop his many insights into faith and life. Some of the contemporaries covered include Keble, Pusey, Gladstone, Matthew Arnold, Richard Holt Hutton, Lady Georgiana Fullerton, and Thackeray. Based on a careful reading of Newman's correspondence, the book offers a fresh look at an extraordinary figure whose work continues to influence our own contemporaries.

Late Antique Letter Collections

A Critical Introduction and Reference Guide

By: Cristiana Sogno,Bradley K. Storin,Edward J. Watts

This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the extant Greek and Latin letter collections of late antiquity (ca. 300-600 C.E.). Bringing together an international team of historians, classicists, and scholars of religion, it illustrates how letter collections advertised an image of the letter writer and introduces the social and textual histories of each collection. Each chapter addresses a major collection of Greek or Latin literary letters, examining their assembly, publication, and transmission. In addition, contributions reveals how late antique letter collections operated as a discrete literary genre with its own conventions, transmission processes, and self-presentational agendas. This book will fundamentally change how people both read these texts and use letters to reconstruct the social history of the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries"--Provided by publisher.

The Mysticism of Everyday

By: Edward Carter

The Mysticism of Everyday

By: Edward Carter

Much of the traditional literature and teaching on Christian mysticism focuses on that most special experience of God which the very rare individual enjoys. The current renewal of Christian mysticism, however, is being directed toward a more ordinary mysticism. The Mysticism of Everyday develops and encourages this more ordinary form. While not completely omitting a discussion of classical mysticism, it concentrates on that type of mysticism which many people experience. Indeed, some "ordinary mystics" are unaware of their own profound, mystical experiences. In Mysticism, Edward Carter guides us into recognizing and affirming the mystical experiences of everyday life. In doing so, he provides a needed complement to the long-standing, but limited tradition in classical Christian mysticism.
