"The concept of sacred insanity is widespread among many religions of the world and through many ages and cultures. The present volume collects the contributions of the symposium Holy Fools and Divine Madmen, held in Munich 2015. Employing interdisciplinary approaches these studies cover a wide geographical and cultural range, from Byzantium westward to Italy and Ireland, and eastward to Islamic Iran, and to India and Tibet."--

"Insanity and Sanctity in Byzantium aims to understand how the use of psychological abnormality functions in deep societal transformations, producing a major shift in the religious, cultural, mental, and social aspects. The book examines a particular set of religious phenomena, in a broadly defined period and area - the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East between the birth of Christianity and that of Islam - and seeks to reach conclusions on the nature and function of abnormal behavior sanctified by society. Taking as a starting point a particular type of saint of Orthodox Christianity, the holy fool, the person who feigns madness, and investigating other types of saints who portray abnormal behavior, such as the martyr and the ascetic, the book reveals the ambiguous character of the boundary between sanity and insanity. It explains the significance of this ambiguity to the religious experience as a motor of social movement, and sets it at the core of the socio-religious transformation that changed the Antique civilization into a world of medieval societies."--

Het ooit zo bloeiende Nederlandse kloosterleven is naar de rand van de samenleving gedrukt. Hoewel mensen misschien wel als nooit tevoren snakken naar spiritualiteit en zingeving in een voortrazende en onbarmhartige maatschappij, lokt het leven van gehoorzaamheid, armoede, celibaat en gemeenschap nog maar heel weinig mannen en vrouwen. Kloosters sluiten, congregaties heffen zichzelf op, gemeenschappen verdwijnen uit de geschiedenis. Het einde is in zicht, zou je zeggen. In dit essay verzet de bekende cultuurtheoloog Frank G. Bosman zich tegen deze opvatting, naar aanleiding van 900 jaar norbertijnen in Nederland. Hij roept religieuze mannen en vrouwen op zichzelf niet te verloochenen. Ik verbied u zelfmoord te plegen, drukt hij ze op het hart. Bosman pleit voor een nieuwe visie op het religieus gemeenschapsleven in de 21ste eeuw. Als postmoderne narren staan monniken, zusters, regulieren en kluizenaars op de bres voor het onbegrijpelijke wonder van universele broeder- en zusterschap. Tegen beter weten in. Tegen de maatschappelijk stroom in. Gods dwazen. Dr. Frank G. Bosman (1978) is cultuurtheoloog, verbonden aan de Tilburg School of Catholic Theology. Hij is een bekende mediapersoonlijkheid en auteur van tientallen boeken en bundels over religie, cultuur en samenleving.
