Description du livre Paper Back. Etat : New. In this clearly written, carefully nuanced, and substantial study, the author traces the development of the conception and practice of spiritual direction over two centuries from Athanasius to Gregory the Great. Demacopoulos posits that a distinction between monastic (ascetical) and lay (sacramental and moral) models of spiritual direction dominated this period and uses a series of patristic case studies to illustrate a range of acceptance, rejection, and synthesis. Though Athanasius exalts the ascetical model of Antony, he emphases the necessity of episcopal oversight of the rapidly growing monastic movement. With the increasing predominance of monk-bishops, especially in the East, Gregory of Nazianzus represents a concern that priests and bishops combine the ascetical and pastoral aspects of their offices. Augustine focuses on the priority of the doctrinal and homiletical skills of the spiritual father as pastor, while his contemporary (and in many ways polar opposite) John Cassian speaks almost exclusively of spiritual direction in a monastic context. Gregory the Great is the epitome of the priest who could master ascetic practice while prudently shepherding a flock 'in the world,' and the enthusiastic reception of his Pastoral Care in West and East confirmed the dominance of that model. That Demacopoulos' study defines spiritual direction in terms of the changing nature of episcopacy and pastorate implies much about our contemporary, individualistic conception of the nature of that task. 274 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 6230
