{"product_id":"monastic-perspectives-on-temporality-riitta-hujanen-9783031348075","title":"Monastic Perspectives on Temporality: Time Is a Mirage","description":"In this book, Riitta Hujanen explores temporality in the context of Catholic enclosed contemplative traditions. It investigates, based on literature and other sources, what enclosed contemplatives might say about temporality through their monastic journeys. What makes a young person decide to dedicate their life inside a cloister? Do contemplatives have a preference for eternity over temporal time? How does the enclosed contemplative life impact one's concept of time? How is time perceived towards the end of one's monastic journey? What is seen when looking back to the years in the enclosed contemplative life? What is experienced at the hour of death?\u003cbr\u003eThe answers to these questions illustrate a paradoxical dynamic in monastic journeys that cover a broad historical scope from the earliest monastic writers to contemporary sources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Riitta Hujanen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031348079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031348075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Riitta Hujanen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44365158482175,"sku":"9783031348075","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9ee587a-b9c6-4a5c-b7e3-90f4f31e6657.jpg?v=1697056953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monastic-perspectives-on-temporality-riitta-hujanen-9783031348075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
