Owens, Virginia Stem, Books & Culture: "The liturgical year encircles 'The Cloister Walk's' 75 chapters, holding within its sphere what might at first appear to be disparate elements--everything from memories of family Christmases in Honolulu to interesting tidbits about the fourth-century hymnist and theologian Ephrem of Syria....One should read this book neither for confessional titillation nor for esoteric information about early Christianity--though a useful reading list could be combed from these pages. The value of 'The Cloister Walk' lies in the way it maps a modern consciousness confronting almost 1,500 years of religious tradition." |
