Beschreibung:
Richard J. Goodrich is a Research Fellow in the Department of Classics and Ancient History, University of Bristol.
A study of how John Cassian, a fifth-century Gallic author, tried to direct and reshape the development of Western monasticism. Richard J. Goodrich focuses on how Cassian's ascetic treatises were tailored to persuade a wealthy, aristocratic audience to adopt a more stringent, Christ-centred monastic life.
