Religious Orders of Women
Author: Suzanne Malard
Publisher: New York : Hawthorn Books
ISBN:
Category : Monastic and religious life of women
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Beginning with an overall picture of the religious vocation, the author describes how the nun tries to cultivate virtue in her continual search for sanctity. She outlines the history and developments of the sisterhoods since their beginnings in the second century. The customs, the requirements and the work of the first groups are compared with those of today, and both the similarities and the differences of each era reveal the continuity and adaptability of the orders. The traditional consecration of the virgins, the habit, the different vows, the community life--all these aspects and many more are discussed at length.

Monks and Monasteries of the Near East
Author: Jules Leroy
Publisher: Gorgias PressLlc
ISBN: 9781593332761
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
"Jules Leroy, the French art expert, spent several months touring the Near East in search of Early Christian remains. During this time he visited most of the monasteries in Egypt, Syria, the Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq, some of them in ruins, some of them still flourishing. He has written a vivid account of his impressions of these monasteries and of the reception he got from the monks in them. Not all the places he visited were Christian, for he describes visits to the Moslem Bektashis in Cairo, the dervishes at Tripoli, and the Yezidi devil-worshippers in the mountains of Iraq." "But his book is not just another travel account. Monsieur Leroy makes it a comprehensive study of monasticism, of ascetism in its many forms, like the Stylites and the hermits, of the dissemination of Christianity, and of the history of Near Eastern religious foundations in the area. The text is illustrated with about a hundred black-and-white photographs, together with maps and plans."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
