Offering an original application of the ancient monastic practice
of lectio divina to the humanities, this book demonstrates the need
for further emphasis on deep reading, reflection, and contemplation
in contemporary university classrooms. Each chapter provides
readers with an historical overview of the four movements of this
monastic method: lectio (reading), meditatio (interpreting), oratio
(responding), and contemplatio (experiencing wisdom), and suggests
ways to incorporate these practices in humanites courses. Keator
demonstrates that the lectio divina method is a viable pedagogical
tool to guide students slowly and methodically through literary
texts and into a subjective experience of wisdom and meaning.
