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 ancient Christian virtues can harmonize within community life. Drawing inspiration from Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Iona Community, it delves into the connections between discipleship, doctrine, and ethics. Central to the discussion is the concept of Christ as the cantus firmus, the foundational melody guiding diverse expressions of faith in worship, ecumenism, healing, peace, justice, and ecology, emphasizing the church's renewal and mission.
