Saint Benedict devoted ten chapters to the monastic table. Sister Aquinata Bckmann offers a thorough study of these core chapters in Benedicts Rule. Drawing on scholarship and personal experience of the monastic table, she demonstrates in this commentary the relationship between Benedicts Rule and other rules, including those of Basil, Augustine, and the Rule of the Master. More than discipline, what comes through here is the overall desire to meet the needs of the brothers and sisters sharing life together.
