The Rule of St Benedict, written for monks in the sixth century,
continues to hold an extraordinary appeal to people in our day. It
offers a balanced approach to seeking God and integrating prayer,
work and relationships in a way that is more essential than ever in
our stress-riven society. For St Benedict, the whole of life has a
Lenten character, that is, it should be driven by the power of
Easter which permeates every aspect of the day with the
transforming power of Christ's resurrection. The book aims to help
readers engage directly with The Rule of St Benedict. The essential
argument is that the Rule offers a way of accessing the
transforming power of grace by following the Gospel in everyday
life, and so is potentially a blessing for every Christian. While
the centrality of Easter in the Rule makes the book ideal as a Lent
book, it also means that The Way of Benedict can serve as a guide
to the wisdom of the Rule throughout the year. While not a
commentary on the Rule, the book follows the shape of the Rule in
the belief that this is integral to St Benedict's vision of
holistic living.
