Modestly described by its author as "a little rule for beginners," this masterpiece of spiritual wisdom dates from the sixth century. It was originally intended as a manaual for aspiring monks, a diverse group composed of serfs, scholars, shepherds, and sons of the nobility. St. Benedict's little book eventually developed into the preeminent monastic legislative code, a distinction it maintains to this day. In addition, this volume offers sound suggestions for readers outside the abbey. Benedict explores issues related to charity, personality, integrity, and spirituality. His teachings have guided readers from every walk of life, encouragin with advice regarding the dignity of labor, the challenge of responsibility, and the proper use of resources.
