{"product_id":"the-story-of-monasticism-greg-peters-9780801048913","title":"The Story of Monasticism: Retrieving an Ancient Tradition for Contemporary Spirituality","description":"Some evangelicals perceive monasticism as a relic from the past, a retreat from the world, or a shirking of the call to the Great Commission. At the same time, contemporary evangelical spirituality desires historical Christian manifestations of the faith. In this accessibly written book Greg Peters, an expert in monastic studies who is a Benedictine oblate and spiritual director, offers a historical survey of monasticism from its origins to current manifestations. Peters recovers the riches of the monastic tradition for contemporary spiritual formation and devotional practice, explaining why the monastic impulse is a valid and necessary manifestation of the Christian faith for today's church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801048915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801048913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015 pg. 32","brand":"Greg Peters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992430248191,"sku":"9780801048913","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0e11ff6-c2c8-4d67-bed1-53b1f8c8b04d.jpg?v=1683318914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-monasticism-greg-peters-9780801048913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
