Description

A Benedictine Reader 1530-1930 by Hugh Feiss, OSB and Maureen M. O'Brien is a comprehensive collection of primary sources that explores the history and spirituality of the Benedictine tradition. Drawing from a range of genres and languages, this volume provides insight into the lives and writings of Benedictine monks and nuns across four centuries. The texts included in this Reader are introduced by their authors and placed within broader historical and theological contexts, making connections with other studies both within and outside the Benedictine tradition. This second volume examines the diverse roles played by Benedictine individuals, from founders and reformers to spiritual writers and guides, as they adapted to new environments and shaped the liturgical renewal of the 20th century. Through its rich selection of primary sources, A Benedictine Reader offers a nuanced understanding of the enduring impact of Benedictine monasticism on the history of the church in modern times.
