Summary: | New Monasticism is a growing movement of committed Christians who are recovering the radical discipleship of monasticism and unearthing a fresh expression of Christianity in America. It is not centered in a traditional monastery, but instead its members live radically, settling in abandoned sections of society, committing to community, sharing incomes, serving the poor, and practicing spiritual disciplines. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove shows how this movement is rooted in a long history of monastic renewal, witnessing the power of the gospel to a fragmented world. |
