Description
A modern paraphrase of the timeless Rule of St Benedict, this concise and accessible edition offers the principles of Benedictine monastic life in clear, devotional language. Ideal for those seeking spiritual structure in daily life.
Discussion around the bestseller The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher has led many people to want to know more about Benedictine principles. This little rule can be a place to begin.
“Listen, my child. I want you to place the ear of your heart on the solid ground of the Master’s wisdom (what I received, I’m passing on to you). This advice is from a spiritual father who loves you and gives you the sort of counsel that will shape your whole life.”
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s The Rule of Saint Benedict presents the timeless wisdom of the Rule in a vibrant new language. The contemporary reader will find this sixth-century classic more accessible, while any student or follower of the Rule will discover in this paraphrase a vital new expression. The full text is included, and detailed explanatory notes offer help in understanding challenging passages.
