Book Synopsis Authority and Asceticism from Augustine to Gregory the Great by : Conrad Leyser
Book excerpt: When barbarians invaded the Roman Empire in the years around 400 AD, Christian monks hid their cloisters. Conrad Leyser shows that monks in the early medieval West were, in fact, pioneers in the creation of a new language of moral authority.
