Download or read book The Monkhood of All Believers written by Greg Peters and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the institution of monasticism has existed in the Christian church since the first century, it is often misunderstood. Greg Peters, an expert in monastic studies, reintroduces historic monasticism to the Protestant church, articulating a monastic spirituality for all believers. As Peters explains, what we have known as monasticism for the past 1,500 years is actually a modified version of the earliest monastic life, which was not necessarily characterized by poverty, chastity, and obedience but rather by one's single-minded focus on God--a single-mindedness rooted in one's baptismal vows and the priesthood of all believers. Peters argues that all monks are Christians, but all Christians are also monks. To be a monk, one must first and foremost be singled-minded toward God. This book presents a theology of monasticism for the whole church, offering a vision of Christian spirituality that brings together important elements of history and practice. The author connects monasticism to movements in contemporary spiritual formation, helping readers understand how monastic practices can be a resource for exploring a robust spiritual life.

Download or read book Finding the Monk Within written by Edward Cletus Sellner and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding the Monk Within is written with the conviction that lying deep within every person and underlying much of contemporary western and eastern cultures is an ancient memory, a vital archetypal energy related to monasticism and its spirituality. This book recovers that monastic memory, the living presence of the past, for those who desire to name and incorporate monastic values: values of solitude and silence, faith and compassion, friendship and mentoring, contemplation and leadership itself. The author examines the social and religious dimensions in the fourth century that gave rise to monasticism, then looks at Christian leaders from late antiquity to the medieval period associated with monasticism in both East and West who have much to teach about monastic values and their relevance for today, among them Antony, the "first monk," Augustine and Jerome, John Cassian, Brigit of Kildare and early Celtic monasticism, Gregory the Great, Benedict and Scholastica and, finally, Bernard of Clairvaux. "By studying the history of monasticism and its great heroes we come to realize that, for the Christian, much of what we call 'monastic' is purely and simply what being a follower of Christ is all about, and that being a monk, whether inside monastic enclosures or outside 'in the world, ' is simply becoming the sort of person everyone ought to be, a person who unites action and contemplation in the care of souls," writes the author. By becoming familiar with the stories and thought of these inspirational figures, readers will be inspired to incorporate monastic perspectives and values into their own lives. +
Download or read book Christ the Ideal of the Monk written by Columba Marmion and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columba Marmion believes that Christian discipleship means imitating Christ the Monk no matter your walk or way of life. Christ is the divine model presented by God himself , the ideal of all holiness. By faith, we accept this holiness into our lives—but we must also allow Christ Jesus to become “the very life of our souls.” This book, an abridged edition of the original, explores how this is possible by examining the writings of St. Paul and St. John in the light of the Gospels and, offering spiritual understanding to any Christian’s religious life. Christ, the Ideal of the Monk sold 100,000 copies when it was published 90 years ago, one of many bestselling books written by the popular Irish-born monk, Columba Marmion, OSB, (1858-1923). He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000.

Download or read book The Monkey and the Monk written by Anthony C. Yu and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony C. Yu’s celebrated translation of The Journey to the West reinvigorated one of Chinese literature’s most beloved classics for English-speaking audiences when it first appeared thirty years ago. Yu’s abridgment of his four-volume translation, The Monkey and the Monk, finally distills the epic novel’s most exciting and meaningful episodes without taking anything away from their true spirit. These fantastic episodes recount the adventures of Xuanzang, a seventh-century monk who became one of China’s most illustrious religious heroes after traveling for sixteen years in search of Buddhist scriptures. Powerfully combining religious allegory with humor, fantasy, and satire, accounts of Xuanzang’s journey were passed down for a millennium before culminating in the sixteenth century with The Journey to the West. Now, readers of The Monkey and the Monk can experience the full force of his lengthy quest as he travels to India with four animal disciples, most significant among them a guardian-monkey known as “the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven.” Moreover, in its newly streamlined form, this acclaimed translation of a seminal work of world literature is sure to attract an entirely new following of students and fans. “A new translation of a major literary text which totally supersedes the best existing version. . . . It establishes beyond contention the position of The Journey to the West in world literature, while at the same time throwing open wide the doors to interpretive study on the part of the English audience.”—Modern Language Notes, on the unabridged translation

Download or read book An Offering to Monasticism of Today The Arena written by St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) and published by Vladimir Djambov. This book was released on with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Before you read on let me be absolved for this my poor effort – not being a monk, not having any special blessing, simply hoping that Orthodox people better than me shall read and understand this... /// Vladimir Djambov /// The fruit of prayer is to enlighten the mind and tenderness of the heart, to revitalize the soul with the life of the Spirit; thorns and thistles - this is the deadness of the soul, the pharisaic conceit, vegetating from heart hardening, content and exalted with the number of prayers and the time used to pronounce these prayers. /// The attention that fully observes prayer from entertainment or from extraneous thoughts and dreams is a gift of God's grace. We prove our sincere desire to receive a blessed gift, the soul-saving gift of attention by forcing ourselves to pay attention at every prayer of ours. /// Nature, renewed by the Holy Spirit, is governed by completely different laws than nature, fallen and stagnant in its fall. /// Woeful self-delusion! Mental blinding. Self-delusion is based here on conceit, and conceit is damage to the mental eye, born from wrong activities and giving rise to even more wrong activities. Beloved brother, the calmness by which you assure yourself of the fidelity of your path is nothing more than an conscienceless and lack of feeling of your sinfulness, which came and proceeds from a negligent life, and the joy that at times is born in you because of external success and human praise is by no means spiritual and holy joy: it is the fruit of conceit, self-righteousness and vanity A comment from the US: This Book "The Arena" by Bishop Ignatius Brianchaninov was originally called "An Offering to Contemporary Monasticism" & was published in 1867. ... Bishop Ignatius Brianchaninov was born as Dimitri Alexandrovich Brianchaninov in 1807 & studied at the Pioneer Military School of St. Petersburg. After he passed his examinations he fell sick & was discharge from the army. When he recovered he became a novice under the Starets Leonid of Optina Monastery. In 1831 he took his vows as a monk, later became the Abbott of St. Sergius Monastery, & in 1857 became a Bishop. After 4 years as Bishop he retired in seclusion & died in 1867. ... This is not a book for the beginner Christian Mystic & may be a tough read for most American Evangelical Christians. This is NOT a book about JUST reading your Bible & turning your life over to Jesus Christ. Yes, this book contains these primary & necessary concepts of Salvation but moves on to how to carry your cross, obey Spiritual Elders, develop Silence, to guard one's thought, the Jesus Prayer, Divine Mediation, how to battle Spiritual Evil, Virtues & Vices, Repentance & Mourning, the topics are rather vast... The book comes in two parts. Part 2 is called [Advice on Monastic Soul Work] "Councils For The Spiritual Life Of Monks" & part 1 is called [Rules for External Conduct for Neophyte Monks] "Rules Of Outward Conduct For Novices". As you can see part 2 (One) with 247 pages will have more to do with understanding spiritual reality & how to live a Holy Life while part 1 (Two) with 43 rules in 14 pages is strictly for Monks living in a Monastery. Get Ready for a Paradigm shift by reading this book. Keep your general life in focus because the book was written for monks & you will have to make adaptions because you live in the world. What I learned mostly is "What you don't Repent of, your going to Take with you." which is rather a scary thought.
