Description: This book presents three authors as individuals and also as textual informants who represent a line of the development of a Western monastic spiritual tradition.

John Cassian (ca. 360-435) helped bring the wisdom of northern Egyptian ascetical life of the century to southern France.

Caesarius of Arles (468/470-542), composed a rule for a women's monastery in the city of Arles.

Benedict wrote the most influential rule in Western monasticism.

Reflection on early Western monasticism retrieves some basic Christian spiritual values that should inform life today outside the monastery in a busy, secular culture.
