About this product
Product Information
This new edition of a classic religious text combines the timeless wisdom of Benedict of Nursia's Rule with the perceptive commentary of a renowned Benedictine mystic and scholar. In her new introduction to the Rule, the author boldly claims that Benedict's sixth-century text is the only one of great traditions that directly touches the contemporary issues facing the human community-stewardship, conversion, communication, reflection, contemplation, humility, and equality. Tracing Benedict's original Rule paragraph by paragraph, it expands its principles into the larger context of spiritual living in a secular world and makes the seemingly archaic instructions relevant for a contemporary audience. A new foreword, updated content, an appendix, and a recommended calendar for reading the entries and commentaries make this an invaluable resource for solitary or communal contemplation.Product Identifiers

The Rule of St. Benedict
Sister Joan Chittister in her commentary on The Rule is incisive, informative and has a gentle sense iof humour. Her wisdom achieved as a life-professedBenedictgine Nun of many years standing shines through. It certainly stand the test of favourable comparison with the much earlier work of Dom David Parry OSB entitled Households of God.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
