The Monk And The Martyr: The Monk As The Successor Of The Martyr (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258053604)

The Monk and the Martyr: The Monk as the Successor of the Martyr is a book written by Edward E. Malone. The book explores the relationship between the monk and the martyr in the Christian tradition. It argues that the monk, who seeks a life of contemplation and devotion, is the rightful successor of the martyr, who gives his or her life for the faith. The book examines the history of monasticism and the early Christian martyrs, and shows how the two traditions are intertwined. It also discusses the role of the monk in contemporary society, and how the monastic life can be a source of inspiration and guidance for those seeking a deeper spiritual connection. The Monk and the Martyr is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the Christian tradition, and is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, theology, or history.The Catholic University Of America, Studies In Christian Antiquity, No. 12.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
