Publisher Description:
The work of Adalbert de Vogu, OSB (1924"€"2011) serves as the basis of all serious study of the Rule of Benedict.

Volume 3 of Adalbert de Vogue's "A Critical Study of The Rule of St. Benedict" interprets The Rule, especially facets of monastic life that secular readers might find unimportant such as prayer regimen, psalmody, correction of faults, and everyday routines like sleeping arrangements. This meticulous scholarship"€"in an accessible translation by Benedictine Sister Colleen Maura McGrane"€"traces how Benedict departed from earlier "Rules" and explains why, more than 1,500 years later, monasteries still follow these practices. Benedict was expert organizer, creative liturgist and informed student of human psychology.

Contributor Bio(s): de Vog, Adalbert: - Adalbert de Vog was born in 1924 and became a monk of Pierre-qui-Vire in 1944. He taught patristics and early monasticism at Sant'Anselmo in Rome. From 1974-2011 he lived as a hermit near his monastery. His six-volume work on the Rule of St. Benedict is considered to be the definitive work on the Rule. He was regarded as the authority on the Rule of Benedict and the Rules of western monasticism. In recent years he published twelve volumes on the history of western monasticism.
