Edited with an Introduction and Commentary by Julian Stead, OSB
Preface by Benedict Groeschel, CFR
Fr. Julian Stead shows the applicability of the Rule of Saint Benedict to
the lives of individuals and of society in the 21st century. After a comprehensive
introduction and some selected passages of Gregory the Great’s Life
of Saint Benedict, Dom Julian presents excerpts of the Rule, intertwining
his own commentary. For monks and nuns already following the Rule, this book
can be a rediscovery of Benedict’s message in the context of their own
vocations. For laypeople, it sheds light on how to live their daily commitment
to the gospel.
“Julian Stead brings a wealth of experience, common sense and scholarship
to showing how the Rule of St. Benedict can be lived out today.”
Pastoral Life
“Dom Julian
has done an admirable job of showing why the Rule of Saint Benedict remains
a classic. For those who might hesitate to approach the Rule directly, here
is an aid that will draw them directly to the font itself. Even for those
who have spent years living under its guidance, there are refreshing insights.”
Augustin Cardinal Mayer, OSB
“Dom Julian
Stead offers a profound commentary on Saint Benedict’s life and Rule;
it is a valuable guide to all who take seriously God’s call to a deeper
life.”
