Overview
As a professor, W. R. Benedict always stressed the importance of reason to his students. In this volume, he asserts that reason is the “servant of feeling” and that the Beatitudes chiefly deal with these higher feelings. While reflecting on each Beatitude, Benedict takes the reader to a place of passionate love for God rather than mere clinical knowledge.
