SAINT BENEDICT: RULE FOR BEGINNERS

Excerpts from the Life and Rule of Saint Benedict edited with an introduction and commentary.

After a comprehensive introduction and some selected passages of Gregory the Great's Life of Saint Benedict, Dom Juliam Stead presents excerpts of the Rule, intertwining his own commentary.  While for monks and nuns already following the Rule this book can be a rediscovery of St. Benedict's message in the context of their own vocations, for lay people it sheds light on how to live their daily commitment to the gospel.
