Reformed Monasticism : The Influence of English Asceticism on Prayer Book Spirituality Kindle Edition

by Steve Macias (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
See all formats and editions
In this booklet, I explore how early English monasticism reappears in the ethos of the prayer book and how medieval ascetic ideals and devotions are purged from the public and religious life of the church.

Summary:

The bones of the monastic hours can certainly be found in Cranmer's daily offices, but what influence did monasticism have on the development of Anglican theology? From St. Aidan's Lindisfarne community to Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries, asceticism played a significant role in the historical, political, and religious development of the theology of the Church in England. The Prayerbook assumes certain ascetic principles and abandons or ignores others.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

For the English people, the Venerable Bede set the example accepting both commoners and noblemen into their monastic schools. In his Ecclesiatical History of the English People we see the example of accepting those who want to learn without the cumbersome barriers of the cloister. Thus, like Bede, Cranmer offers in the devotion of the prayerbook "uncloistered" access to the wisdom of the scriptures and English asceticism.

From the Back Cover

Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer was introduced to the Western world just as the printing press was transforming the way books were published. In England, large manuscript service books and missals reflecting the various rites and ceremonies of the local tradition were replaced by a single simple text. Just as the early monastic communities would gather to recite pieces of scripture from memory, so too does the modern Western culture in the collective influence that the language of the Book of Common Prayer has had on the post-Reformation world.
