Hubert Van Zeller

The Holy Rule: Notes on St. Benedict's Legislation for Monks

Library name stamped on endpapers and title page else clean, tight, and unmarked. Overall very good condition. This is a commentary on one of the most important and influential works of the Christian tradition - the Rule of St. Benedict. Long used as the founding and ordering rule for many different religious orders, the Rule also functions as spiritual and devotional reading for millions of Christians interested in living more deliberately toward sanctity. Dom Zeller's book simply works through the entire Rule in order to bring it to life in the modern age. The book will be valuable for religious, for scholars of religious orders, especially the Benedictine order, and for Christians interested in deepening their understanding of what it means to devote one's entire life to the Lord.
