The Monkhood of All Believers with Dr. Greg Peters

Dr. Greg Peters is an Anglican priest, professor at Biola University, and instructor at Nashotah House, an Anglican seminary in Wisconsin. He is a Protestant expert in the history of monasticism. Why would a Protestant study such things? There's more for us to learn than you might expect. In this episode we discuss the history as well as the different types of monasteries, what the Reformation fathers really thought about monasticism, and how Christians can apply monastic principles to their daily lives without running away from the world.
