Common Books Volume II

The sacred life of households and ordinary obligations.

Volume II contains the Household Book, one of the canon’s sustained examinations of daily life. It turns from beginnings toward homes, relationships, duties, tensions and the small decisions through which a shared life is actually made.

Why this book is here

The Household Book brings scripture down into rooms, meals, duties, affection and friction. Its importance is precisely that it treats ordinary shared life as worthy of sustained religious attention.
