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.

Works and is inexpensive
Used this for a 2019 Honda CRV, works and saved us a lot of money over getting it at the dealer. Easy to install.

Did not fit 2018 CRV 2.4L
This did not fit our 2018 CRV 2.4L, at all. Yes u know it's the engine air filter and not the cabin air filter. We replaced them both and this didn't fit. I ordered another one from a different listing and it fit like a glove.

Perfect Fit 2019 Honda CRV
I have a 2019 Honda CRV AWD and this filter fit perfectly. It looks exactly the same as the filter that was previously installed by Honda. I’ll be buying these and installing myself from now on!
