New Monastic Library: Resources for Radical Discipleship

Series Editor: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

For over a millennium, if Christians wanted to read theology, practice Christian spirituality, or study the bible, they went to the monastery to do so. There, people who inhabited the tradition and prayed the prayers of the church also copied manuscripts and offered fresh reflections about living the gospel in a new era. Two thousand years after the birth of the church, a new monastic movement is stirring in North America. In keeping with ancient tradition, new monastics study the classics of Christian reflection and are beginning to offer some reflections for a new era. The NEW MONASTIC LIBRARY includes reflections from new monastics as well as classic monastic resources unavailable elsewhere.

The series includes three volumes thus far:

• Community of the Transfiguration: The Journey of a New Monastic Community, by Paul R. Dekar
• Inhabiting the Church: Biblical Wisdom for a New Monasticism, by Jon R. Stock, Tim Otto, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
• School(s) for Conversion: 12 Marks of a New Monasticism, Edited by the Rutba House
