RB 1980: The Rule of St. Benedict (2P)

One of the most important movements in Church History has been monasticism. This book prescribes rules by which the monks who followed St. Benedict were to live. Benedictine monks like Augustine of Canterbury also did the important missionary and culture work to rebuild the ruins after barbarian invasions. Marvel and piety, discipline and rigor called for in this classic work make this a must-read for students who wish to understand the Medieval mind. Soft 96p
