The effects of this on society have been far-reaching and Benedictine communities and houses still attract countless visitors, testifying to the appeal and continuing relevance of Benedict's principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the author writes, the chapters of his book, which range from a discussion of Abbot Cuthbert Butler's mysticism to 'Benedict and the Future of Europe', are 'simply an invitation to look at various current questions through the lens of the Rule and to reflect on aspects of Benedictine history that might have something to say to us'.  With Williams as our guide, \u003ci\u003eThe Way of St Benedict\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to the Rule's ability to help anyone live more fully in harmony with others whilst orientating themselves fully to the will of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003eRowan Douglas Williams - Роуэн Дуглас Уильямс\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003eBloomsbury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e160 pst\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e135 mm \/ 5,3'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e216 mm \/ 8,5'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e190 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e9781472973078\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46759037108362,"sku":"1193185","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1070\/6314\/files\/The_Way_of_St_Benedict_-_The_Way_of_St_Benedict_9781472973078-1.jpg?v=1725489106","url":"https:\/\/bookstoreint.com\/products\/1193185","provider":"Bookstore International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
