330 ## - Summary or Abstract |
Text of Note |
Mt Athos is the spiritual centre of Orthodoxy ever since the 10th century. The Athonites claim their monastic republic to be the oldest continuing democracy in existence. Today there are about 1, 300 monks striving towards deification - union with God. More than 40, 000 men from all over Europe visit the Holy Mountain every year: for advice, to confess and to experience, as do the monks, the presence of God.<br/>In this book, based on extensive field research, René Gothóni, a Scandinavian specialist on monasticism, sheds fresh light on the life of the monks and the pilgrimages of ordinary men. His modern and unconventional approach has produced the first book on Athos from the viewpoint of comparative religion.<br/>René Gothóni asks: "What does it mean to be a monk? What kind of worldview do the Athonites have? What are the meanings and values attached to their mode of life? Why do laymen come to Athos? Are they pilgrims, tourists or visitors?" He shows how monks assume the role of Adam in accordance with the Biblical worldview, how visitors become pilgrims during their journey. Sincere monks and pilgrims experience a foretaste of inner peace, of paradise within reach.<br/>The author, René Gothóni, is Senior Lecturer of Comparative Religion at the University of Helsinki and Ordinary Member of the Finnish Society of Science and Letters. His publications include Modes of Life of the Theravāda Monks and, as co-editor, Mythology and Cosmic Order. |
