Melodies of a New Monasticism

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the New Monastic Movement, this book employs the musical metaphor of polyphony to illustrate how early Christian virtues can be harmoniously integrated within community life. Drawing inspiration from Dietrich Bonhoeffer and contemporary figures like George MacLeod, it delves into the connections between discipleship, doctrine, and ethics. Central to the discussion is the concept of Christ as the cantus firmus, serving as the foundational melody around which diverse expressions of faith—such as worship, justice, and ecology—are woven together in both church and society.
