Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, in the author's words: "...its subject is one that has seldom received fair treatment at the hands of non-Catholic writers. Quick enough to condemn what they considered the abuses of the monastic system, they have not always given a just meed of praise to the merit they could not deny. The glorious part this system played in developing and guiding the spiritual powers of men, its incomparable work of leading Europe out of the wreck and ruin of barbarism and into the blessings of civilization, has usually been but grudgingly told and with sufficient qualifications to neutralize its merit."The stupendous accomplishments of the monastics in the Middle Ages, and their virtual creation of Western Civilization will not cease to amaze the reader. Experiencing the mere liberation from an oft told myth is enough to make this book a pleasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monasticism: Its Ideals and Its History Shown itself to be, in the deepest instincts of the human heart and ministering, as it has ministered, as well in the active and practical West as in the indolent and dreamy East, to a common need of man, may not be lightly spoken of or carelessly ignored. Though in these latter days we have learned a lesson which monasticism could not teach, though we seek in other fashion to meet our spirit's needs, and though its life ideals are no longer ours, we cannot forget that during centuries of sensuality and centuries more of barbarism, the world felt the reproving, condemning, quickening and restraining influence of an institution which was a constant protest against the reign of the material and a constant testimony to the power of the spiritual, which was indeed the conscience of the world incarnate.

Download or read book The Work of the Monk in Early England Classic Reprint written by Harriet Emily Tuell and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Monk in Early England M. Guizot, in his History of Civilization, says that civilization seems to him to be the sum, the expression of the whole life of nations. He defines it as a fact subsisting on two conditions and manifesting itself by two symptoms, the development of social activity and that of individual activity; the progress of society and the progress of humanity. To one of our day, looking from an environment which is characterised by so high a degree of individual and social activity, back to a less fortunate age, it would be hard to find anything of greater interest than an attempt to discover what has brought about the change. Encouraged by the statement of M. Guizot that, if limited to certain centuries and certain people, this civilization is a fact which may be described, related, we have attempted within very narrow limits of time and space a study of the work of a single class, that of the monks, toward the furtherance of the progress of society and the progress of humanity. Early England makes a particularly fortunate subject for such a study, in that valuable testimony is given by one of the monks themselves, the venerable Bede. His Ecclesiastical History of the English nation, which was finished in 731, is made up of the results of his personal knowledge and of material which he gained from correspondence with people in other parts of the island, from the archives of the church at Rome, parts of which were copied by a friendly monk, from earlier written records and from traditional accounts. These materials were gathered and put together with the thoroughness and carefulness of an author whose habits and instincts were those of a scholar, and whose familiarity with the scenes and atmosphere which he described give to his narrative a peculiar vividness.

Download or read book English Monasticism written by O'Dell Travers Hill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Monasticism: Its Rise and Influence The career of Glastonbury Abbey; the oldest monastery in England, is selected, to be described collaterally with this investigation, in order that a picture may be given of the interior life or the Cloister, with its glories and its sorrows, as it was played' out in that celebrated institution. A complete history of the monastic orders in England would be a great acquisition to literature. This want, felt by Coleridge, who advised Southey to write such a work, still exists and should the effort to trace a few results of monasticism upon English life and culture only induce some one with sufficient leisure and ability to undertake the more important task, the author will not have laboured in vain.

Download or read book How the Irish Saved Civilization written by Thomas Cahill and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

On most points I find myself in complete agreement with Mr Morison. In the few cases where we differ an examination of his views has not led me to alter my own conclusions, and I have therefore contented myself with giving references to the relevant pages in his book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monasticism: Its Ideals and History and the Confessions of St. Augustine, Two Lectures The larger works of Professor Harnack have long been known in England, and have established his fame as one of the foremost leaders of contemporary religious thought. His minor works display on a smaller scale the same historic sense, the same wide and profound learning, and the same sympathy with varying points of view, which charac terise his more ambitious productions; and at the same time are perhaps capable of appealing to a wider circle of readers. Two of the most popular and interesting of these, Das M'o'nch thum and Augustin's Oonfcssionen, are here offered to the English public. The version of the former is made from the fifth German edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
