Lives of Saints & Servants of God

Benedict - Patron of Europe

Midgley, JB

Life and influence of the founder of Western monasticism

Tweet

By taking the name Benedict XVI, the new Pope draws attention to the powerful legacy of one of Christendom’s – and Europe’s - greatest saints. This booklet tells the story of St Benedict’s life, his novel monasteries and his many famous followers down the centuries. Most of all, the untold influence of his celebrated ‘Rule’ on sixth century - and twenty-first century - European life and culture is explored, particularly in the light of current concerns over a pervading de-Christianisation of Europe, its institutions, and its soul.
