| Résumé : |
As the landscapes of the history of Christianity continue to expand with increasing attention devoted to non-western literatures and cultures, more unexplored pastures appear. David Michelson’s book serves as a kind of land bridge between well-wandered country to one that remains foreign and untrodden to a west-centered field of scholarship. Monasticism, reading, and contemplation in Christian traditions have been studied by scholars for generations, but their manifestations in traditions of the near and far east have been comparatively neglected. Michelson’s book is one step in the direction of rectifying that situation. |
