Goodrich examines the attempt by the fifth-century ascetic writer John Cassian to influence and shape the development of Western monasticism. Goodrich's close analysis of Cassian's earliest work (\u003cem\u003eThe Institutes\u003c\/em\u003e) focuses on his interaction with the values and preconceptions of a traditional Roman elite, as well as his engagement with contemporary writers. By placing \u003cem\u003eThe Institutes\u003c\/em\u003e in context, Goodrich demonstrates just how revolutionary this foundational work was for its time and milieu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard J.
