Abstract:
During the thousand years of Christianity, the institution of monasticism interacted with the other Byzantine institutions, being absorbed into the societal life. In the eleventh century, ordinary Byzantines or of the aristocratic class still recognized the superiority of monasticism as a model to follow for achieving the ideal of salvation. What attracted, producing admiration, was the asceticism of the monks along with the benefits that flowed from it for the people. At the same time, the more extraordinary asceticisms were, the more they became the target of criticism. First of all, they we

Abstract:
The value of bodily affliction as a means for integrating an active life of good works on earth with the contemplative values of heaven, prior to the return of Christ and the world's end, remains relatively unexplored, despite suffering saints being a common medieval trope. Using the work of Gregory the Great and the Venerable Bede, this article seeks to explore the interrelation of an active contemplative life and bodily affliction to shed light upon Bede's use of Gregory and his presentation of Cuthbert's episcopate to forge a distinctive understanding of the links between bodily illness, ep

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the connections between political activism and Christian asceticism. It does so through a discussion with recent political theologies and historical research into (early) Christian asceticism. Two present-day cases, the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Buy Nothing Year, are used to demonstrate similarities and potential for fruitful engagement between the two traditions. It is suggested that asceticism needs to be understood in a fuller range, incorporating introspective, imaginative and institutional aspects in order to make visible the potential for a dialogu

Abstract:
This article focuses on accounts of bodily asceticism published in Buddhist periodicals in Republican China (1912–1949) in order to explore the mentality and motivation of publicly presenting this seemingly fanatic and backward tradition in an era marked by modernization. By zeroing in on practices of self-immolation, bodily mutilation, and blood writing, as presented in periodicals advocating either reform or preservation of Buddhist tradition, the article reveals that Buddhists with different visions for the modern form of Chinese Buddhism, despite their multifaceted responses, reached a con

Abstract:
Abstract Though Philo of Alexandria’s ascetic beliefs and practices often have been noted, a focused assessment of the Platonic influences on his contemplative asceticism has yet to be offered. While addressing that shortcoming, this essay identifies a number of key Platonic themes. Like Plato’s Socrates, Philo is capable of expressing a range of opinions concerning embodied existence and the roles of body and soul in noetic contemplation. Though generally pursuing a path of moderation, the rigorous demands of noetic contemplation necessarily call for extreme and austere praxes, as well as vig

Abstract:
This study explores the embodiment of Franciscan poverty in the Meditationes Vitae Christi (Ms. ital. 115) with a focus on its likely Clarissan readership. Franciscan ideals of poverty, rooted in bodily discomfort and humility, are reflected in the text and accompanying illustrations, which emphasize Mary and Christ as models of voluntary destitution and charity. The manuscript encourages female readers to embrace poverty through spiritual and physical practices. It portrays Mary as a charitable giver and industrious worker, aligning her virtues with the enclosed life of Poor Clare nuns. Visua

Abstract:
Abstract: This article examines the attitude of John of Apamea, an early fifth–century Christian ascetic writer, to the Law and to the body. My argument is that the establishment of Christianity within the Roman Empire and the spread and institutionalization of monasticism, together with its emphasis on bodily practice and obedience to laws, has resurrected old themes and images from Jewish-Christian polemics, dating back to the Pauline epistles, over the relationship between the body and the Law. In John’s period, however, the question has changed: While in the first centuries c.e. the focus

Abstract:
This chapter considers the theological milieu that informs Isaac’s protological narrative, which in turn, informs his eschatology. Isaac’s protology is influenced by the infantile Adam tradition begun by Theodore of Mopsuestia, but preserved in the extant Syriac tradition by Narsai. According to both Theodore and Narsai, God intentionally created Adam in a mortal state so that Adam could pursue immortality through a process of maturation from infant to adult. Isaac repeats this position and cites Theodore as a source, but he also adds a unique ascetical component from Pseudo-Macarius. In parti

Abstract:
This book demonstrates that Isaac’s eschatology is an original synthesis based on ideas garnered from a distinctively Syriac cultural milieu. This cultural milieu includes ideas adapted from Syriac authors like Ephrem, John the Solitary, and Narsai, but also ideas adapted from the Syriac versions of texts originally written in Greek, like Evagrius’s Gnostic Chapters, Pseudo-Dionysius’s Mystical Theology, and the Pseudo-Macarian homilies. Isaac’s eschatological synthesis of this material is a sophisticated discourse on the psychological transformation that occurs when the mind has an experience

Abstract:
In Dostoevsky’s binary poetics, an opposition can be drawn between two fundamental stances – asceticism and incontinence. Ascetics adhere to an ethos of self-restraint in response to the desires of the flesh. Incontinents act spontaneously to gratify their desires. The current study draws an analogy between the behavior pattern of Dostoevsky’s self-denying intellectual heroes and that of exiled castrate (skoptsy) communities. Dostoevsky’s ascetics represent a cerebral mindset attracted to visions of social utopia; their intellectualizing detaches them from the life of the body and thus weirdly

Abstract:
In the Life of Melania, Gerontius explains that Melania was impelled to adopt an ascetic life because she had been “wounded by divine love” and that, later in life, that “wounding” prompted Melania to a more rigorous form of asceticism. The concept of “divine wounding”—a prodding and provoking by God that drove ascetics to deeper devotion, discipline, and piety—had become relatively well-defined and common in the fourth and fifth centuries. This chapter demonstrates that wounding was an exceedingly “usable” image in ascetic texts given the widespread bodily experience to which the figurative l
