This volume's focus is threefold, thus corresponding to its tri-partitetopical division: to analyze Eastern monasticism's unique place in thelife transforming journey to theosis; Eastern monasticism'shospitality and mutual encounters with culture; and Eastern and Westernmonasticism's hospitality to Christian and non-Christian religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam (even though Islam does not haveany monastic institution, its adherents have been historically in dialoguewith Christian monastics and have the potential to achieve a spiritualaffinity with monks of other religious traditions). The three parts of thevolume share one unifying argument: monasticism's special call tospiritually symbiotic relationship or impact on the verysocio-politic-historic structures of reality. The topics are explored fromhistorical, theological, and literary standpoints. The volume's overallintention is to help make monastic ecumenical engagement or its potentialfor inter-faith dialogue better known, appreciated, and relevant withininter-religious dialogue.
