In Benedict in the World, Linda Kulzer, O.S.B., and Roberta Bondi
have gathered stories of many of the ordinary and extraordinary men
and women Benedictine oblates-members of the Benedictine family who
live in the world. Benedict in the World begins with an
introductory chapter citing some reasons for an influx of
Benedictine oblates into monasteries today. It then presents in
detail a collection of the lives of nineteen significant
Benedictine oblates who lived from the years 973 to 2000. Nearly
half the contributors are themselves Benedictine oblates and most
of the others are professed Benedictine monastics. The combined
effort offers support and inspiration to those who have loved their
oblate journey and brings to light the lives of these outstanding
lay monastics. Among the more well-known oblates included are
Dorothy Day, Patrick and Patricia Crowley, Jacques and Raissa
Maritain, Walker Percy, H. R. Reinhold, and Elena Cornaro. Chapters
