Synopsis

St. Basil And His Rule: A Study In Early Monasticism is a book written by Ernest Frederick Morison, first published in 1912. The book is a comprehensive study of the life and teachings of St. Basil, one of the most important figures in the development of early Christian monasticism. Morison examines the historical context in which St. Basil lived, including the rise of Christianity and the establishment of monasteries in the Eastern Roman Empire. He then delves into St. Basil's life, exploring his early years, his conversion to Christianity, and his eventual decision to become a monk. The book also provides a detailed analysis of St. Basil's Rule, a set of guidelines for monastic life that he developed and which became widely influential in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Morison examines the various aspects of the Rule, including its teachings on prayer, fasting, and community life, and shows how it influenced the development of monasticism in the centuries that followed. Throughout the book, Morison draws on a wide range of sources, including St. Basil's own writings, as well as the works of other early Christian writers and historians. The result is a fascinating and informative account of a key figure in the history of Christian monasticism, and an essential read for anyone interested in the early history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
