Summary

"God of Mercy introduces and contains seventeen classic Old English sermons by the tenth-century Benedictine monk, AElfric, translated for the first time into Modern English. God of Mercy presents the theologically and spiritually attractive work of this important early monk. AElfric's timeless writing style is as attractive and unfettered as his message - God is a God of unending, mysterious mercy - and the Modern English translations reproduce that simplicity here. At the heart of this book is The Rule of St. Benedict, around which this tenth-century monk ordered his spiritual and earthly existence."--BOOK JACKET.
