Description:Missionaries go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, while monks live cloistered in a monastery and focus their lives on prayer and studying Scripture--correct? Not exactly. When we study the history of Christian mission, especially from around 500 to 1500 CE, the key missionaries that we constantly encounter are monks. In fact, if we don't have monks in this period then we have very little in the way of Christian mission.

We will meet the monks and monastic orders, narrate their journeys in mission, and evaluate their approaches to and thoughts about mission.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
