Welcome to the first in a new series of podcasts. These guides to classics of Christian literature are intended to provide an acquaintance with the texts and authors by combining narration with extracts from the texts themselves.

This episode is focused on the Rule of St Benedict, a book that continues to change lives 1500 years after it was written.

You will hear passages outlining his thoughts on humility, order, change, stability, obedience and more. All of which have application well beyond the walls of a monastery.

The quotations throughout are from Leonard J. Doyle's translation.

Artificial intelligence has been used to build the audio.
