Terrence Kardong's Benedict's Rule: A Translation and Commentary, The Liturgical Press, 1996, is a scholarly translation and commentary. Its strength is that Kardong, a Benedictine monk and scholar, pairs a careful translation with detailed line by line historical and theological commentary on the Rule of Saint Benedict. Its limit is the ordinary one for a translator writing from within the tradition he studies: his own monastic formation shapes his interpretive choices, though his textual scholarship itself is widely respected.
