Synopsis

A practical guide to a timeless code. This edition of The Teaching of St. Benedict explains the Benedictine Rule with clear, balanced analysis. It aims to reveal the wealth of ascetical, liturgical, disciplinary, and administrative wisdom stored in the original text.

Drawing on scholarly commentary, the book presents the Rule in its historical context and shows how monastic life was shaped by its guidelines. The discussion emphasizes how the Rule governed daily practices, worship, and community life, while making connections to the broader spiritual tradition of Western monasticism.

• Clear explanations of the Rule’s passages and how they guided monks and nuns


• Contextual discussion of liturgical and communal practices


• Insights into ascetic discipline, work, and hospitality


• Notes on how commentators have interpreted key chapters over time

Ideal for readers of religious history, philosophy of monastic life, and anyone curious about Benedictine tradition.
