Reading Saint Benedict: Reflections on the Rule (Cistercian Studies Series)

After living the Rule and studying it for many years, Adalbert de Voga¼a, a monk of La-Pierre-qui-Vire in France, introduces it to those encountering it for the first time. The relationship of Benedict's Rule to other early monastic legislation is treated thoroughly, but the book is designed for those who are seeking a guide for living. Christians 'in the cloister or in the world 'who seek spiritual guidance in 'this little Rule for beginners' will find here an unforgettable introduction.
