Monasticism, What Is It? A Forgotten Chapter In The History Of Labor is a book written by Henry John Feasey and published in 1898. The book explores the history and significance of monasticism, a way of life practiced by monks and nuns who dedicate themselves to a religious community and live a life of prayer, contemplation, and service. Feasey delves into the origins of monasticism, tracing its roots to the early Christian church and the desert fathers of Egypt. He examines the various forms of monasticism that emerged over the centuries, including the Benedictines, Cistercians, and Franciscans, and discusses their impact on society and the economy. The author argues that monasticism played an important role in the development of labor and industry, particularly in medieval Europe. Monks and nuns were skilled craftsmen and farmers, and their work helped to sustain their communities and provide for the needs of the wider society. Feasey also explores the spiritual and philosophical aspects of monasticism, discussing the virtues of poverty, obedience, and celibacy that were central to the monastic way of life. He examines the role of monasticism in the broader context of Christian theology and spirituality, and considers its relevance to modern society. Overall, Monasticism, What Is It? A Forgotten Chapter In The History Of Labor is a comprehensive and insightful study of an important aspect of Christian history and culture. It provides a valuable perspective on the role of monasticism in shaping the world we live in today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
