Description
The Monkhood of All Believers: A Monastic Foundation for Christian Spirituality Greg Peters explores the misunderstood institution of monasticism in the Christian church, reintroducing its historic roots and articulating a monastic spirituality for all believers. Peters argues that what we have known as monasticism is not necessarily about poverty, chastity, and obedience, but rather a single-minded focus on God rooted in one's baptismal vows and the priesthood of all believers. This book presents a theology of monasticism for the whole church, connecting it to contemporary spiritual formation and offering a vision of Christian spirituality that brings together history and practice.
