Not exactly. When we study the history of Christian mission, especially from around 500 to 1500 CE, the key missionaries that we constantly encounter are monks. In fact, if we don't have monks in this period then we have very little in the way of Christian mission. Our aim in this book is to examine the phenomenon of missionary monks -- those who pursued both a monastic and missionary calling. We will meet the monks and monastic orders, narrate their journeys in mission, and evaluate their approaches to and thoughts about mission. 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory 606 $aMonastic and religious life$xHistory 606 $aMissions$xHistory 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life$xHistory. 615 0$aMissions$xHistory. 676 $a271 700 $aSmither$b Edward L.$01247875 702 $aO'Loughlin$b Thomas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158577403321 996 $aMissionary monks$92892574 997 $aUNINA
