Monasticism, its concept and role in society

Abstract

Monasticism is a method used by the monk to worship and is cut off in his hermitage from the world in his monastery. Monastic monasticism has appeared in the Church of the East since the fourth century AD and with an Egyptian influence that began with the phenomenon of solitude and individual isolation in the wilds and wastelands far from cities.
The importance of the monastic life lies in the way the monk takes to reach and draw near to God Almighty so that he attains the degree of spiritual perfection by responding to Christ's call to renounce everything for the sake of eternal life.
So monasticism evolves in its concept from time to time, so that we find it in its early beginnings an individual ascetic way, then it turned into a collective way of life.
