9781517248017: Inclusive Rule of Benedict with Topical Concordance

Synopsis

The Rule of Benedict has successfully guided people to God for over 1500 years. Although written originally for a small community of monks in Italy, its wisdom and humanity helped it spread worldwide. From its very first days, it proved to be a beacon for the laity as well.This present edition revives a 17th century translation into Early Modern English, here updated for the modern reader. In keeping with contemporary usage, gratuitous references to men are replaced with unobtrusive inclusive language.The most prominent feature of this work, however, is a comprehensive topical concordance. This gathers related subject material scattered throughout Benedict’s original work and puts it in one place so the reader can review Benedict's thoughts on any given subject without the necessity of thumbing through a conventional index that lists only page numbers.
