"Caroline Schroeder presents the first analysis of the ascetic ideology of one of the most important figures in early Egyptian monasticism, Shenoute of Atripe" (David Brakke, Indiana University) "This remarkable study focuses on the leadership style . . . developed by Shenoute of Atripe, the third leader of the elaborate complexes for men and women monastics established in the mid-fourth century in Upper Egypt." (Journal of Religion) "Schroeder has made a valuable contribution to the study of Shenoute and early monasticism by clearly showing how his concept of interrelated monastic bodies drives ascetic practice, and the book is a good introduction to his thought. But there is more to be learned from a careful reading of these texts, and this depends on forthcoming critical editions and improved translations." (Church History)
