Review
An impressive depiction of the history, over more than a century, of the Benedictine Abbey of St. John in Collegeville, Minnesota. . . . This successful book, which with its two epilogues covers 136 years of the history of St. John's Abbey, including its liturgical apostolate, is a valuable contribution to Benedictine history, which as we known is not so much the history of an order as it is the history of individual abbeys and congregations of abbeys.Archiv Für Liturgiewissenschaft
