An eloquent defense of traditional Orthodox monasticism against critics who find the monastic life irrelevant to the modern world. Just as the body has need for various foods and craves the things that sustain it, we learn in this volume, so the soul needs an image of purity. It is this image that the monastic has always presented, we are told, and it is thus all the more imperative that it be preserved in a time when impurity of all kinds is perversely regarded as “normal.”
