Als die Religion noch nicht langweilig war

Aufklärung über die Gründerväter des christlichen Mönchtums - Der Klassiker zu den Ursprüngen von Religion und Kirche - Klug und anspruchsvoll: das große Sachbuch von Hans Conrad Zander zu den Wurzeln des Christentums Was heute das Internet oder der Sport ist, war für die Menschen der späten Antike die Religion. Nothing fascinated them as much as the adventures of the "desert fathers", who were the "stars" of their time. By the thousands, these dropouts went out into the deserts of Egypt and Syria to meditate and "be with themselves" in a landscape that was previously considered deadly. Around the hermitage of the Egyptian Antonius a real "desert city" of fans and disciples was created. Hans Conrad Zander tells everything worth knowing about these founding fathers of Christian monasticism, not hiding the infernal erotic hostility of the lonely men.
