## Customer Reviews

    ROOT OF THE RULE
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2000*

Father Demetrius Dunn writes a gentle, scholarly understanding of the Rule of St. Benedict through the prism of its Scriptural roots.  Is Benedictine spirituality inherently biblical, or is the bible used merely as supporting  text? he asks.  Not surprisingly, he finds Benedictine spirituality's heart  lies in Scripture.  Father Dunn spins out his thesis in lovingly crafted  discussions of trust, compassion, discipline, community prayer and private  prayer--all centered around Christ.When I heard Father Dunn preach a  sermon on the gospel story of the feeding of 5,000 (Matt 15:29-37), he  stressed that most of us are not called to martyrdom or greatness, but to  be a little "better".  This message is repeated throughout  Cherist Christ, findings its home in the Rule and Scripture.  "Embracing one's real life in honesty and humility is a pre-condition  for the faith that gives access to the saving events of God in human  history", he writes (page 13).  And while I may wish his writing style  was less erudite, his message and scholarship are worth the reader's  effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for Meditation and reflection...
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2012*

This is a fine Benedictine book.  It brings us back to the basics, and points out--in a very readable way--how St. Benedict's ministry was right out of the Bible!  His Order could not have lasted this long and been such a vital part of Church (and world) history, if it had not been smiled upon by God.  You just can't fail when you go by our Owner's Manual!He breaks the chapters down into readable sections for a daily meditation.  He gives plenty of resources so the reader can go back to the Rule itself or to the Bible to further reflect on what he has written.  His writing also has a warm way of making the reader's relationship with God a very loving relationship.  While not the least bit sappy nor sentimental, this book warms the Benedictine/Monastic way of life with God's love which was meant to be received...and passed on to others.
