Reviews

In her new book The Benedictine Tradition, Laura Swan has gathered together a very useful collection of readings. Since these selections are gleaned from her own practice of lectio divina, they will prove fruitful for the lectio of others. She has not contented herself with the usual well-known authors, but has ranged far and wide for her anthology. So we hear not only from Pope Gregory, but also from Raissa Maritain; not only from Venerable Bede, but also from Bede Griffiths. Finally, Sister Laura gives us more than little snippets; she gives us substantial excerpts for our spiritual nourishment.Terrence Kardong, O.S.B., Assumption Abbey, Richardton, North Dakota
