'At the end of his book, After Virtue, Alistair MacIntyre hints at a new kind of monasticism: ''What matters.is the construction of local forms of community within which civility and the intellectual and moral life can be sustained through the new dark ages which are already upon us.'' The editors of this book--members of an intentional Christian community in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Durham, North Carolina--have compiled twelve essays in an attempt to discern the marks of a new monasticism that will guide these burgeoning communities in faithful, consistent witness. Taking the Rule of St. Benedict as their primary monastic model, these new monastics likewise seek, above all, the kingdom of God, and they understand the vivifying effect monasticism has had, and continues to have, on the church throughout history.
