Spiritual Direction as a Medical Art in Early Christian Monasticism

Spiritual Direction as a Medical Art in Early Christian Monasticism

Inhalt

What conceptual frameworks did the inhabitants of early monastic communities carry into relationships of spiritual direction? What did they hope to achieve through confession and discipline? This study shows how early Christian writers applied the logic and pretensions of Galenic medicine to develop practices and concepts of spiritual direction.
