The Augustinianism 1 of the Rule of St Benedict
View through CrossRef
Chapter 7 is the first of two examinations of Benedict’s Rule, which is at the centre of much current reflection on the identity of the Latin theological tradition. Borrowing insights from the commentaries of Terrence Kardong, Michaela Puzicha and Christian Schütz, and Aquinata Böckmann, which now deserve to stand alongside Adalbert de Vogüé’s masterful commentary and French translation, this chapter establishes cases of the Rule of St Benedict’s direct literary reliance on Augustine (Augustinianism 1). These instances of literary borrowing address ‘fraternal relations’, a concern shared by both Augustine and Benedict. Themes investigated in this chapter include solidarity, inequality, charity, and ‘pure prayer’.
