The book traces the origins of monasticism in the early Christian church, examining the lives and teachings of key figures such as St. Anthony, St. Benedict, and St. Francis of Assisi. It also delves into the development of monastic communities and their impact on the wider world, including their roles in preserving and transmitting knowledge, promoting social justice, and shaping religious and cultural traditions. Throughout the book, Hannah emphasizes the enduring relevance of monasticism and its continued influence on contemporary spirituality and social activism. Written in accessible language and with a wealth of historical and theological insights, Christian Monasticism: A Great Force in History is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the role of spirituality in social change.1925. In his experience as a teacher of history, Mr. Hannah found there is no subject on which the ordinary student is more vague in his mind than upon the place of Christian monasticism in the story of the world. He was unaware of the existence of any book which dealt with the earnest labors of the monks for mankind. Hannah sets forth the main outlines of the second pillar of medievalism - those task so well achieved by the monks whose original traditions might have appeared so exceedingly unpromising.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
