Recommended for theological collections.Catholic Library World Aquinata Boeckmann is one of the leading commentators on the Rule of St. Benedict today.Cistercian Studies Quarterly . . . an attractive, well-edited book.Cistercian Studies Quarterly ... provides a thoroughly scholarly look at life and love as focused on Christ by the Benedictine Rule.Review for Religious This is a model of scholarly exegesis, steeped in patristic and Biblical studies aimed at those who work closely with the Rule. I would use this book in its entirety with graduate students, and in excerpts with undergraduates . . . they have here an excellent model for doing close textual analysis.Catholic Studies An Online Journal Many Benedictines have enjoyed Sister Aquinata Boeckmann's clarity of thought in the oral presentations she has given on the Rule of Benedict around the world. . . . For Sr. Aquitinata, the key to understanding Benedict lies in RB 72:11-12: 'To prefer absolutely nothing to Christ who will lead us all together to eternal life.' With these 'perspectives,' followers of Benedict soon realize that they are in the presence of a monastic classic.Benedictines Boeckmann emerges not only as a first-rate scholar of the Rule, but as a wise teacher whose lived experience of the Rule brings to her commentary a freshness that will appeal not only to those who work intimately with the Rule, but to those who are just beginning to become acquainted with its treasures.American Benedictine Review This Rule of Benedict is a book of ethical teaching, moral teaching, and a work about God and getting to know and live with him, a means of expanding our hearts in Christ. It says stay with God.Examiner.com
