Recently I have been studying the Rule of St Benedict and have been astounded at the Reformed resonances in his writing. The title of this post, of course, is an anachronism since he lived many hundreds of years before the first major church schism, but it's good form to capitalize nouns in the title of a blog entry. "St Benedict the reformer" may be more a propos as he was indeed trying to purify the Christian life along much the same lines as the Puritans.
