The Dominican Tradition

St. Dominic, who died in 1221, took to heart Jesus' charge to make disciples of all nations. He founded a religious community, the Order of Preachers, which differed than most orders of his day. Instead of insisting that the faithful come to church institutions to be fed spiritually, Dominic trained preachers who traveled anywhere and everywhere to spread the Gospel. The Dominicans continue to flourish today. The Dominic Tradition, the first in a spirituality anthology series, provides readers a window into Dominican spirituality. You will learn the core spiritual values that shape their way of life. Mostly, you will come to realize that the spiritual legacy established by Dominic is as vibrant today as it was centuries ago.
