Synopsis

The work of Saint Augustine has been at the center of a conflagration of enthusiasm in the Christian Church and beyond it for over fifteen hundred years. The precocious teenager who became a Manichean, the reveler who became a bishop, the bishop who became a saint–millions have been inspired to sanctity by the story of this fourth century Latin Father of the Church and millions more by the sublimity of his doctrine. Fewer, however, are familiar with the Rule he wrote to govern the monastic life of his small religious community at Thagaste in Africa, and later the life of his own priests as Bishop of Hippo.

In a series of seventeen conferences, Fr. Walter Wagner, OP of the Saint Joseph Province of the Order of Preachers, offers his reflections on this ancient Rule. With wisdom and wit, he unearths Saint Augustine’s finest ideals for living the Christian life and concretely applies them to 21st Century Dominican Life as it is lived today by thousands of priests, brothers, nuns, sisters, and lay men and women. Enlightening and challenging, both brand-new Christian and wizened Diamond Jubilarian will benefit from this delightful commentary.

The book is now in its Second Edition.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Kentucky in 1962, Fr. Walter Wagner, O.P. entered the Order of Preachers (Dominican Order) in August 1987 having been captivated by the Order's charism of "holy preaching." After being ordained to the priesthood in 1993 Father served the Saint Joseph Province of the Order as Professor of Theology at Providence College, Prior in one of the Province's houses, Master of Novices at the Province's novitiate in Ohio, and currently as Pastor of Saint Vincent Ferrer Church in New York City. As Master of Novices for ten years Father Wagner was charged with the responsibility of forming the new brothers in the Rule of Saint Augustine and Dominican Life, preparing them for Simple Profession.
