Such monks often served as spiritual advisors to urban aristocrats whose patronage gave them considerable authority and independence from episcopal control. This book is the first comprehensive study of this type of Christian poverty and the challenge it posed for episcopal authority and the promotion of monasticism in late antiquity. Focusing on devotional practices, Daniel Caner draws together diverse testimony from Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, and elsewhere-including the Pseudo-Clementine Letters to Virgins, Augustine's On the Work of Monks, John Chrysostom's homilies, legal codes-to reveal gospel-inspired patterns of ascetic dependency and teaching from the third to the fifth centuries. Throughout, his point of departure is social and cultural history, especially the urban social history of the late Roman empire. He also introduces many charismatic individuals whose struggle to persist against church suppression of their chosen way of imitating Christ was fought with defiant conviction, and the book includes the first annotated English translation of the biography of Alexander Akoimetos (Alexander the Sleepless). Wandering, Begging Monks allows us to understand these fascinating figures of early Christianity in the full context of late Roman society. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v33. 606 $aMonastic and religious life$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aMessalians 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life$xHistory 615 0$aMessalians. 676 $a271/.009/015 700 $aCaner$b Daniel$01020853 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455956403321 996 $aWandering, begging monks$92416371 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02312nas 2200661-a 450 001 996251308503316 005 20230518213020.0 011 $a1538-4845 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2068127-6 035 $a(OCoLC)48841098 035 $a(CKB)954925502194 035 $a(CONSER)--2002211002 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925502194 100 $a20020122a19819999 s-- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTopics in early childhood special education 210 $aAustin, Tex. $cPRO-ED 210 1$a[Thousand Oaks, CA] :$cSAGE Publishing 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $a0271-1214 531 $aTOP EARLY CHILD SPEC 531 $aTOPICS EARLY CHILD SPEC EDUC 531 $aTOP.
