Reviews
"This welcome volume, A Benedictine Reader: 1530-1930 , complements an earlier anthology, A Benedictine Reader, 530-1530 . Together they provide students and scholars alike with an invaluable collection of texts illuminating the vast span of Benedictine monasticism." Brother Bruno Heisey, OSB, Archivist at Saint Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pennsylvania, "This is a striking and unique book covering a long period of Benedictine history through the use of unusual and original sources. A Benedictine Reader: 1530-1930 demonstrates the richness of the ageless Benedictine spirit in its many forms. Giving a succinct and clear context for all the primary texts chosen, it will provide readers with a valuable encyclopedia of Benedictinism in one volume." Abbot Geoffrey Scott, Douai Abbey UK, President of the Catholic Archives Society, "The second volume of A Benedictine Reader is a welcome sequel to the first volume which covered the period from 530 to 1530 CE. That volume introduces lay readers to a wealth of writing by Benedictines, writings with which we might otherwise never have come into contact. The second volume begins where the first leaves off and takes us through the early part of the twentieth century. Like the first, the second volume includes a striking diversity of writings produced by Benedictines. From the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries we find spiritual exercises from The Practice of the Rule of St. Benedict , but also an address to the French Estates General advocating religious toleration, and excerpts of a book on the use of sign language in the education of the deaf. From the eighteenth century we have a play to be performed by abbey schoolboys, The Marriage Contract . From the nineteenth and twentieth centuries we find excerpts from a book on the liturgical year, writings of and about Benedictine missionaries to Australia and Tasmania, North America, and Africa, and a statement of principles on liturgy and social justice. The editors and translators of A Benedictine Reader: 1530-1930 are to be commended for revealing Benedictines at work through the centuries, reflecting on, reforming, and re-imagining their living tradition." M. A. Norton, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Idaho State University

Synopsis
A Benedictine Reader shares the treasures of the Benedictine traditionthrough the collaboration of a dozen scholars. It provides a broad and deep sense of the reality of Benedictine monasticism using primary sources in English translation. The texts included are drawn from many different genres and originally written in six different languages. The introduction to each of the chapters aims to situate each author and text and to make connections with other texts and studies within and outside the Reader . This second volume of A Benedictine Reader looks at Benedictine monks and nuns from many angles, as founders, reformers, missionaries, teachers, spiritual writers and guides, playwrights, scholars, and archivists. In four centuries, they went from Bavaria to North America and Africa, from England and Spain to Australia, adapting to new environments. Committed to the liturgy by their profession, they played an important role in the liturgical renewal that culminated at Vatican II. Rooted in God, church, and their surroundings, they showed remarkable resilience in the face of wars, confiscations, suppression, and exile. Their impact has been deep and stabilizing, and their story is a microcosm of the history of the church in modern times., A Benedictine Reader shares the treasures of the Benedictine tradition through the collaboration of a dozen scholars.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
