Saint Benedict
Adalbert de Vogue has been called the greatest modern commentator on the Rule of Saint Benedict. This monk, who has been living as a hermit for many years, presents us an in-depth study and an absorbing new look at St. Benedict, the man who transformed Europe and Western Civilization. It is a definitive work, written with eloquence and depth.
A Critical Study of the Rule of Benedict
"The work of Dom Adalbert de Vogeuae, O.S.B. (1924-2011) serves as the basis of all serious study of the Rule of Benedict. Vogeuae uses literary criticism to show how the Rule of Benedict developed. He establishes the dependence of the Rule of Benedict on the Rule of the Master"--
To Love Fasting
Fasting, although a fundamental practice for religious and spiritual life, has practically vanished from modern Christianity. Monasticism appears to have abandoned it almost completely. It is said that modern men and women cannot fast as the ancients did. Is this true? Adalbert de Vogue, Benedictine monk and hermit, tried the ancient schedule for meals and found it liberating. In this book he traces the history, of fasting in Christian and other traditions, and shares his experience.
A Critical Study of the Rule of Benedict - Volume 3
Volume 3 of Adalbert de Vogue's "A Critical Study of The Rule of St. Benedict" interprets The Rule, especially facets of monastic life that secular readers might find unimportant such as prayer regimen, psalmody, correction of faults, and everyday routines like sleeping arrangements. This meticulous scholarshipƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"in an accessible translation by Benedictine Sister Colleen Maura McGraneƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"traces how Benedict departed from earlier "Rules" and explains why, more than 1,500 years later, monasteries still follow these practices. Benedict was expert organizer, creative liturgist and informed student of human psychology.

A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE RULE OF BENEDICT; VOL 2.
The work of Dom Adalbert de Vogüé, O.S.B. (1924-2011) serves as the basis of all serious study of the Rule of Benedict. In this second volume, Vogüé first provides historical and critical commentary on texts from the Rule of the Master and other early sources, then shows how Benedict integrated and developed this material in writing his Prologue, Epilogue and chapters on the Tools of Good Works, Silence and Humility.

The Life of St. Benedict--Gregory the Great
Preeminent monastic scholar Adalbert de Vogue analyzes and comments on Book II of the Dialogues of Pope Saint Gregory the Great -- the Life of Saint Benedict, Father of Western monasticism and Patron of Europe. Full of wisdom, insight and refreshing anecdotes.
To Desire Eternal Life
"Arriving at the end of my course, after more than fifty years of presence in the monastery, an instinct pushes me to share my great hope of eternal life, as I have shared recently my small experience of fasting." In this meditation of the phrase "to desire eternal life" from the Rule of St. Benedict, Adalbert de Vogue shares what hope has been for him before entering the monastery and after. Then he surveys Holy Scripture as a simple hearer of the Word (lectio divina) and finally he listens once more to some beloved phrases of the ancient monks before and after St. Benedict. "To desire eternal life" should challenge each Christian today as it challenged Fr. Adalbert de Vogue. He who gives himself to Christ will not die but will live forever, because He is eternal life. Adalbert de Vogue is a monk of la Pierre-qui-Vire in France.
Transformations of Late Antiquity
'Transformation' is a notion apposite to essays in honour of Peter Brown. 'The transformation of the classical heritage' is a theme to which he has devoted, and continues to devote, much energy. All the essays here in some way explore this notion of transformation; the late antique ability to turn the past to new uses, and to set its wealth of principle and insight to work in new settings.
