Book Synopsis Wandering Monks, Virgins, and Pilgrims by : Maribel Dietz
Book excerpt: Dietz finds that this period of Christianity witnessed an explosion of travel, as men and women took to the roads, seeking spiritual meaning in a life of itinerancy. This book is essential reading for those who study the history of monasticism, for it was a monastic context that religious travel first claimed an essential place within Christianity.
