Beskrivelse af Monastic Institutions
Monastic Institutions: Their Origin, Progress, Nature And Tendency (1855) is a comprehensive study of the history and development of monasticism. Written by Samuel Phillips Day, a prominent British historian and theologian of the mid-19th century, the book explores the origins of monasticism in the early Christian church, its spread throughout Europe and the world, and the various forms it has taken over the centuries. Day examines the motivations and beliefs of the men and women who joined monastic orders, as well as the social and political factors that influenced the growth and decline of monasticism in different regions. He also discusses the impact of monasticism on art, literature, and education, and considers the role of monasteries in the broader context of medieval and early modern society.Throughout the book, Day offers a balanced and nuanced perspective on monasticism, acknowledging its many achievements and contributions to Western culture while also highlighting its shortcomings and controversies. He argues that while monasticism has often been criticized for its isolation from the world, it has also played a vital role in preserving and transmitting knowledge, promoting social welfare, and fostering spiritual growth.Monastic Institutions: Their Origin, Progress, Nature And Tendency is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, culture, and society in Europe and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
