Reviews"Judith Sutera, OSB, has done the monastic tradition and the Christian Church in general a great service. As each new generation (re-)discovers the Rule of Benedict, not only as a legislative guide for monastic communities but also as a rich document of Christian spirituality, it needs an edition and translation that is relevant to the contemporary cultural context. Sutera's inclusive language edition will likely be the new standard edition for readers of the rule in the English language. Moreover, her concise yet rich and illuminative commentary serves as a more-than-adequate introduction and guide to understanding the mind of Benedict. Accessible and deceptively learned, this book should be the primary textbook for all schools of the Lord's service." Rev. Dr. Greg Peters, Servants of Christ Research Professor of Monastic Studies and Ascetical Theology, Nashotah House Theological Seminary

SynopsisThe Rule of St. Benedict forms the foundation for one of the oldest ongoing institutions in all of Western civilization. The Rule not only defines life for men and women in monasteries but has also become central to the spirituality of lay Christians across the globe. This gender-neutral translation is true to the original text but provides an alternative for individuals and groups who prefer such a version over the masculine language of the original as it was written for St. Benedict's monks. It also offers some background into the context in which it was written, as well as reflections on its meaning for contemporary life, making it a resource for those encountering the Rule for the first time or those who have cherished it for years.
