The relationship between Christian monasticism and formal education has intrigued scholars of late antiquity for some time, as the ancient texts often put questions of paideia centre stage and make no secret of their authors’ rejection of classical culture. Thanks to recent studies, it is no longer possible to see the Christian monks as uncouth and illiterate outsiders. It is in this context that the volume under review aims to explore the role of monastic traditions in preserving and transmitting classical models of pedagogy to the broader Christian culture (1). The overall argument is directed against the older view, promoted by the monastic sources, that the monks abhorred rhetorical training and philosophical speculation in favour of ascetic virtue and Christian simplicity. Against the image of a complete separation of school and monastery, drawn by Henri Marrou and others, the contributors argue for a strong continuity of monastic instruction with classical paideia, both in theory and practice.
In re-examining the Christianization of the Roman Empire and subsequent transformation of Graeco-Roman classical culture, this volume challenges conventional ways of understanding both the history of Christian monasticism and the history of education. The chapters interrogate assumptions that have framed monastic practice as pedagogically unprecedented, with few obvious precursors and/or parallels. A number explore how both teaching and practice merge classical pedagogical structures with Christian sources and traditions. Others re-situate monasticism within a longer trajectory of educational and institutional frameworks, elucidating models that remain central to the preservation of both Greek and Latin literary culture, and the skills of reading and writing. Through re-examination of archaeological evidence and critical re-reading of signature monastic texts, each documents the degree to which monastic structures emerged in close alignment with urban, literate society, and retain established affinity with classical rhetorical and philosophical school traditions.
