A Life Giving Way : A Commentary on the Rule of St Benedict Paperback / softback
by Esther De Waal
Part of the Continuum Icons series
Paperback / softback
Description
Is it surprising that a sixth-century monastic text, the Rule of St.
Benedict, should be a guide for lay Christians living in today's world?
In fact, the questions which St. Benedict had to face are still questions which face us today: how do I live with others?
With the world? With myself? With God? How do I bring balance into my life? St. Benedict speaks to the heart, and this commentary approaches the Rule in a prayerful and reflective way.
It will help many people who today are seeking a contemplative centre in a busy life.
St. Benedict's writing is steeped in scripture. In the Middle Ages, his Rule was seen as a digest of the Bible.
It therefore crosses the divides of the church and speaks to Christians of all denominations.
