Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Life of Our Most Holy Father St. Benedict is the classic hagiographical portrait of Benedict of Nursia, presenting the saint as abbot, wonder-worker, spiritual father, and lawgiver of Western monasticism. Cast as a dialogue and shaped by biblical echoes, the work reads less as modern biography than as theological testimony: miracles, temptations, prophecies, and acts of pastoral discernment reveal the holiness formed in silence, obedience, and prayer. Its literary context is late antique Christian exemplum, where narrative instructs the soul as much as it records events. Saint Gregory the Great, pope from 590 to 604, wrote from within a world marked by political instability, plague, and the transformation of Roman institutions. A former prefect of Rome who became a monk before assuming ecclesiastical authority, Gregory understood both public responsibility and contemplative withdrawal. His admiration for Benedict reflects his own conviction that monastic discipline could preserve Christian wisdom amid cultural upheaval. This book is recommended to readers of Christian spirituality, monastic history, and medieval literature. It offers not merely an account of a saint, but a window into how holiness, authority, and community were imagined at the dawn of medieval Europe. 148 pp. Englisch.
