| Description: |
Carmel Posa, SGS, applies a "disciplined imagination" and the ancient hagiographical method to recover the missing life and voice of St. Scholastica of Nursia. Drawing on a wide range of scholarship, including Gregory the Great's four famous dialogues, biblical models, and the Rule of Benedict, Posa follows a technique similarly used by Saint Gregory himself to create an engaging and credible account of Scholastica's life.
Carmel's careful methodology offers readers an image of Scholastica that has a spiritual standing apart from her famous and holy brother. She retrieves the enduring legacy of Scholastica from the margins and places her into the centre of monastic history, in particular and church history, in general.
Oblates, Benedictines, and those interested in monastic spirituality will also be challenged to reconsider those women whose voices have been erased, devalued, or ignored over the centuries and inspired to "listen carefully" to the whispered words and wisdom of women as we mark our journey together into a future full of hope, with Christ and his Gospel for our guide. |
