I'm not sure if this is an academic book or one I just purchased to read because I was interested at the time. When I pulled it off the shelf to dust, I noticed it was shorter and looked fairly easy to read, so here it is! St. Benedict founded his monastery in Monte Cassino in southern Italy. He drew on Egyptian and Syrian traditions for his guidelines for his religious community. In theory, the monastery was a self-sustaining entity where all members prayed and worked. They valued: obedience, silence, and humility. I found the piece and defense of silence to be very interesting. It was taken from Psalm 39:1-2: "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good..." I believe that is taken out of context, but what do I know?! Other advice: "..idle words, or such as move to laughter, we utterly condemn and ban them in all places. We do not allow any disciple to give mouth to them." How somber and sad--no laughter! 112 pages ( ) From the time it was first promulgated in the sixth century, the Rule of St. Benedict has been one of the most influential, enduring documents of Western civilization. Composed for the guidance of his own monks at Monte Cassino, St. Benedict's Rule has become the bases for the fules of practically every Christian monastic community in the West. For it lays down the law, so to speak, for living the spiritual life -- through work, prayer, study, obedience, community life, and moderate asceticism. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Die Regel für das Zusammenleben der Mönche, die der Heilige Benedikt von Nursia vor der Mitte des 6. Jahrhunderts verfasst haben soll, ist die älteste und folgenreichste religiöse Lebensregel der lateinischen Kirche. Sie hat die Vorstellungen vom mönchischen Leben durch das ganze Mittelalter hindurch geprägt und ist bis heute ein grundlegender Text der christlichen Spiritualität geblieben. Der Pater und Kirchenhistoriker Ulrich Faust bietet in seiner zweisprachigen Ausgabe Erläuterungen und historischen Hintergrund zum Verständnis. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
