OverviewAbbott Chapman's Spiritual Letters, collected and edited posthumously by Dom Roger Hudleston, have been read and found of profound help by countless thousands since they were first published almost half a century ago. This book includes a range of Abbot Chapman's letters both to lay people, including two married ladies and the editor of The Dublin Review, and to religious such as a Benedictine monk, a Servite nun and a Jesuit Scholastic. In his new introduction, Sebastian Moore OSB says 'As a guide to praying, the Letters are superb. As a guide to living, too, Chapman is decades ahead of his time.'
