Dear List members, I am doing some work on lectio divina in my work on women's pilgrimages, as well as for a retreat on the same topic. I'm familiar with some modern work on it, from the spirituality side, and everyone ascribes it to the middle ages, generally St. Benedict and Benedictine monasticism. The Rule certainly doesn't say much (I don't remember it saying anything specific). Does anyone know who wrote about it in the middle ages or how it was understood? Are there modern scholarly sources? Thanks, Kris Utterback [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
