 The article "Do We Need The Benedict Option? Yes, Says Bishop," quotes Dr. Jared Staudt, commenting on The Benedict Option in his blog “Stop Misunderstanding The Benedict Option” who gives this concise 3-point summary of the book - * Given the profound crisis of culture (which has affected the Church as well), we cannot look to mainstream institutions for our future. * Rather, we need to form intentional communities that more fully embody our Christian faith and in which we are willing to face the consequences of going against the stream. * It is from such institutions that real cultural change will occur." Way too many book reviewers have written columns about the book without even reading it; or if they've skimmed through it, they totally missed the main message and have substituted their preconceived notions for what it really says. You need to get The Benedict Option before you jump to conclusions. As the author, Rod Dreher, has written: "Understand me clearly: I concede that I might be wrong! But if I am wrong, then show me where I am wrong; don’t satisfy yourself with endless griping about the book you think I have written, or by creating straw men that are easy to knock down." Get the book, and prove him wrong... if you can! Read the full article to get the whole story! And subscribe below to get our free weekly newsletter: |
