In the "Life of St. Dominic," Father Bede Jarrett, one of the truly
eminent Dominicans of our century, presents a portrait of St.
Dominic and his times with a brilliance and clarity that result
from a perfect understanding of the beloved saint and his ideals.
St. Dominic was plunged accidentally -- and, as it turned out,
providentially -- from a quiet choir stall and scholarly life to
the active and contentious life of a street-corner preacher. Called
upon to dispute with heretics who threatened the very existence of
the thirteenth-century Church, he found the vital inspiration of
his life to lie in personal austerity, holiness, and ardent
dedication of the intellect to Christ. He not only defended the
truth of the faith, but through the Order he founded (the
Dominicans) he spread the faith throughout existing Christendom.
Austere and joyous, physically hardy, affectionate, compassionate,
and full of a lively gaiety of heart, St. Dominic was ideally
suited to be a brilliant preacher. He was well-educated, trained
expertly to argument, and had that flaming Spanish enthusiasm and
radiant character that immediately attracted eager followers to his
Order. Father Jarrett's "Life of St. Dominic" is by far the best
English biography of St. Dominic and brings him and his Order --
one of the richest ornaments of the Church and of the entire
intellectual world -- to vibrant life for the modern reader.
