The first full English translation of one of the most important sources on Thomas Becket. Benedict of Peterborough's Passion and Miracles of St Thomas Becket puts the reader in Canterbury on the day of one of the most famous murders of all time, when four of King Henry II's knights killed the archbishop inside his cathedral on 29 December 1170. It reveals how a monk thrust into the role of chronicler attempted to understand the earliest cures at Thomas Becket's tomb and the rapid growth of his reputation as a miracle-worker. With its description of Becket's murder and some 275 miracles, all dating to 1171-1173, Benedict's text, which went on to circulate across Europe, is by far our most important source for the beginnings of the cult that would draw hundreds of thousands of medieval pilgrims to Canterbury. This book provides the first full English translation of Benedict's Passion and Miracles from the original Latin. It includes an introduction that assesses the relationship of the Canterbury monks to the archbishop, analyses the story of the murder as told in the Passion, and examines the ways in which Benedict gathered material and constructed the Miracles. The translation is also accompanied by full explanatory notes, while two appendices provide biographical information and a translation of the eighteen stories in the Miracles that are also recounted in a slightly later Canterbury collection. This translation will make Benedict's hugely significant text accessible to a wider audience for the first time. This book is available as Open Access under the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-ND.

Dialogue among religions is becoming indispensable for the promotion of peace in the world, and is envisaged as a way to find solutions to many of the tensions and conflicts existing in society. In the present epoch of tensions between religions and cultures, the subject of interreligious dialogue is particularly important, if not crucial. The Catholic Church, aware of these factors, especially since the Vatican Council II, has recognised the significance and indispensability of interreligious dialogue, and considers it as one of the ways to carry out her mission in the contemporary world. This study brings together in one volume the teachings of three Popes - Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI - on interreligious dialogue and their specific contributions and pastoral guidelines for its promotion. The sources used for the study are the official teachings of the three Popes which are found in their encyclical letters, apostolic exhortations, pastoral constitutions, homilies, catechesis during general audiences, and special addresses and messages. This book can serve as resource material for students who do basic and well as advanced courses in Catholic theology of religions and interreligious dialogue and for anyone interested in knowing about the teachings of the Popes on dialogue.

Rules for Gentlemen: A Code of Chivalry Drawn From the Rule of St. Benedict

Rules for Gentlemen: A Code of Chivalry Drawn From the Rule of St. Benedict

If the world is torn by divisions, if the peoples are through into the confusion of mutual hostility, how is the world to be healed, how are the peoples to be reconciled, if not through such a new chivalry? You are being called into battle as a gentleman. And this battle consists first and foremost in ruling over yourself, and then in bringing the peace of harmony with God into the world around you. As a gentleman, you are called to uphold justice and to resist injustice, to serve that which is holy in the world, without reservation and without salary, to care for the weak, the persecuted, and the wronged, to take care of creation as it groans, and of the bruised reed, because it is God's will that it not be broken.I've been able over the years to delve into chivalric literature and the evolution of nobility, and what I've uncovered from the tomes of history I share now with you, men and women of all ages, in this simple guide - a chivalric code drawn from the ancient text that over the centuries gave birth to the ideal of a Christian chivalry. I've been guided since I was a young child by the principles laid out in the Rule of St. Benedict, and recently completed a new translation of the ancient work. It also happens, that historically the code of chivalry for the knights of the middle ages was drawn from and explicitly modeled on the way of life of the benedictine monks, and later by the mendicant friars. In what follows, the text of the Introduction, the Conclusion, and the "Tools for Doing Good" are taken directly from the 1,500 year old text, the Rule of St. Benedict. The rules themselves, as well as the "Way of Perfection", are principles drawn from or summaries of the more salient points enumerated by St. Benedict that serve as a firm foundation for a chivalric code to which a man or woman of our day can pledge themselves to uphold. You see, to be a gentleman or gentlewoman is not about merely following some set of rules or book of etiquette. It is about pledging yourself to a code of honor, and striving to conform all aspects of your life to it. Chivalry, the way of the Christian knight, both in its various historical manifestations, and in its eternal spirit, exists to guide men and women in how to live uprightly in the world - to conquer themselves and achieve self-mastery in service to a higher good. Such a gentleman or gentlewoman is sent into the world to resist injustice and to preserve justice, to to care for the weak, the persecuted, and the wronged, to take care of creation as it groans, and of the bruised reed, because it is God's will that it not be broken. Such a chivalry means a responsibility, a responsibility he or she can only carry out by serving that which is holy in the world, the hidden Grail and the order that radiates out from it."There must always be men and women] who serve that which is holy in this world without reservation and without salary, caring for the weak, the persecuted and the insulted, renewing the authority of law and fighting against injustice. The knight exists for the sake of everyone; that is his or her] proper position in the world." - Hans Urs Von BalthasarThus, inspired by the need for a renewal of this kind of knighthood in our own day, and the desire to see my children become true gentlemen and gentlewomen, I compiled this new code of chivalry drawn from Saint Benedict's Rule for Beginners - the very code itself that has guided and directed the lives of countless men and women to become true gentlemen and gentlewomen for over 1,500 years, and continues to breathe new life into the world today.
