Description: Set against the bloody backdrop that was Italy in mid-first-millennium, Benedict's life charts a course far different from the violent struggles of his day. In a time of war and want, this monk and abbot aimed to establish and nurture community, cultivate the wilderness, and feed the poor. He also left us his famous Rule, seventy-three short chapters that are the foundation for Western monasticism and remain a spiritual classic. "Man of Blessing" is suitable for anyone seeking answers to these questions:
- Why did Pope Benedict XVI choose the name "Benedict"?
- What other popes have been named Benedict?
- What were the important events in the life of St. Benedict?
- What are St. Benedict's lasting legacies?
- What is in St. Benedict's Rule? (A brief chapter-by-chapter summary of St. Benedict's Rule is presented.)
