Reviews
... provides a thoroughly scholarly look at life and love as focused on Christ by the Benedictine Rule. Review for Religious, This Rule of Benedict is a book of ethical teaching, moral teaching, and a work about God and getting to know and live with him, a means of expanding our hearts in Christ. It says stay with God. Examiner.com, Bckmann emerges not only as a first-rate scholar of the Rule, but as a wise teacher whose lived experience of the Rule brings to her commentary a freshness that will appeal not only to those who work intimately with the Rule, but to those who are just beginning to become acquainted with its treasures. American Benedictine Review, This is a model of scholarly exegesis, steeped in patristic and Biblical studies aimed at those who work closely with the Rule. I would use this book in its entirety with graduate students, and in excerpts with undergraduates . . . they have here an excellent model for doing close textual analysis. Catholic Studies An Online Journal, Many Benedictines have enjoyed Sister Aquinata Böckmann's clarity of thought in the oral presentations she has given on the Rule of Benedict around the world. . . . For Sr. Aquitinata, the key to understanding Benedict lies in RB 72:11-12: 'To prefer absolutely nothing to Christ who will lead us all together to eternal life.' With these 'perspectives,' followers of Benedict soon realize that they are in the presence of a monastic classic.

Synopsis
The Rule of Saint Benedict has shaped monastic life for centuries. Perspectives on the Rule of St. Benedict provides a unique guide to the richness of this Rule. Focusing on vv. 1-4, 45-50 of the Prologue and chapters 72, 73, 58, and 53, Sister Aquinata Bockmann presents an interpretive key for understanding the entire Rule and appreciating its spiritual and practical values. Presenting a wealth of material, she never loses sight of the christological center of the Rule or the questions involved in living it in our time, both in monasteries and the world. Combining the tools of scholar with the love of a Benedictine, Sister Aquinata focuses on the parts where Benedict's own teaching is most clearly expressed. She skillfully situates Benedict in the late Roman culture and the monastic and patristic writings of his time. She provides detailed interpretations of the texts. Sister Aquinata has a special gift of presenting complex materials and challenging insights in a manner accessible to non-specialists without compromising the depth of her research.
