Monasticism is a social and religious phenomenon which originated in antiquity and which still remains relevant in the twenty-first century. But what, exactly, is it, and how is it distinguished from other kinds of religious and non-religious practice?

In this Very Short Introduction Stephen J. Davis discusses the history of monasticism, from our earliest evidence for it, and the different types which have developed from antiquity to the present day. He considers where monasteries are located, from East Asia to North America, and everywhere in between, and how their settings impact the everyday life and worldview of the monks and nuns who dwell there. Exploring how monastic communities are organized, he also looks at how aspects of life like food, sleep, sex, work, and prayer are regimented. Finally, Davis discusses what the stories about saints communicate about monastic identity and ethics, and considers what place there is for monasticism in the modern world.

Crisp, Refreshing, and a Family Favorite
Flavor Name: Kiwi Strawberry, Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Propel Kiwi Strawberry is one of our favorites. It’s crisp, refreshing, and has just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. The kiwi strawberry taste is especially enjoyable and makes it easy to drink throughout the day. We also like that it’s zero calorie and includes electrolytes and vitamins, making it a great option for staying hydrated during workouts or busy days. Overall, a consistently refreshing drink that we always keep stocked in the house.

Excellent product. But I thought they were expensive.
Flavor Name: Kiwi Strawberry, Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This is a great product, great ingredients, excellent taste, sugar-free. My friend a actually came over and I think he drink most of them or took them home to his wife. Didn't last long and I thought they were pricey.

Great tasting Propel Water
Flavor Name: Kiwi Strawberry, Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Great-tasting and refreshing Propel is one of my to go to drinks when I want something flavorful without being overly heavy like soda. The flavors are crisp and not too sweet, and its nice bonus knowing there are added vitamins. Perfect for on-the-go or after workout. I keep coming back to it.
