It investigates, based on literature and other sources, what enclosed contemplatives might say about temporality through their monastic journeys. What makes a young person decide to dedicate their life inside a cloister? Do contemplatives have a preference for eternity over temporal time? How does the enclosed contemplative life impact one?s concept of time? How is time perceived towards the end of one?s monastic journey? What is seen when looking back to the years in the enclosed contemplative life? What is experienced at the hour of death? The answers to these questions illustrate a paradoxical dynamic in monastic journeys that cover a broad historical scope from the earliest monastic writers to contemporary sources. Riitta Hujanen received her PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from Liverpool Hope University, United Kingdom. She serves as Chief Investment Officer of OP Asset Management. 606 $aContemplative orders 606 $aEnclosure (Monasticism) 606 $aMonastic and religious life 615 0$aContemplative orders. 615 0$aEnclosure (Monasticism). 615 0$aMonastic and religious life. 676 $a255.01 676 $a255.01 700 $aHujanen$b Riitta$01383180 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736991703321 996 $aMonastic Perspectives on Temporality$93427763 997 $aUNINA
