The phenomenon of orders and religious communities, along with their complex development and the establishment of guidelines, rules, and forms of communal living, has shaped Christianity from the very beginning. The founding figures, when known or even prominent, are often attributed with charismatic presence and courageous initiative. They are usually the central actors who determine our understanding of the beginnings of religious communal life across the epochs of church history. In contrast, this book focuses on the second and third generations of orders and religious communities. More often than assumed, the beginnings of religious communal life are shrouded in darkness or are constructed (sometimes significantly) later as narratives of the beginnings. Of great interest are the transitions from fluidity and experimentation to permanence and stability of a community, from the charisma that needs to be more precisely defined in each case to the institution, and from a trial character to a legally stable order. Such transitions have been - and are - almost always marked by crises, conflicts, and narratives that interpret and transmit the origins of the community in light of the current tensions or undergo adaptation processes, where the acting individuals often unjustly remain in the background. The authors of this book dedicate themselves to this previously little-explored phase of crisis and the "fermentation" of religious communal life.
