An impressive depiction of the history, over more than a century, of the Benedictine Abbey of St. John in Collegeville, Minnesota. . . . This successful book, which with its two epilogues covers 136 years of the history of St. John's Abbey, including its liturgical apostolate, is a valuable contribution to Benedictine history, which as we known is not so much the history of an 'order' as it is the history of individual abbeys and congregations of abbeys.Archiv F�r Liturgiewissenschaft
