Description

Assembled in this volume are his sermons on the Song of Song, which are in chronological order addressed to various personnel. This is book four of four. It is hard to know how to characterize Bernard of Clairvaux. On the one hand, he is called the “honey-tongued doctor” for his eloquent writings on the love of God. On the other hand, he rallied soldiers to kill Muslims during the Crusades. He wrote eloquently on humility; then again, he loved being close to the seat of power and was an adviser to five popes. He is well regarded as the last of the Church Fathers & one of the great mystics. What Bernard is remembered for today, more than his reforming zeal and crusade preaching is his mystical writings. His best-known work is "On Loving God". What is clear is this: 400 years after his death, he was still widely quoted by Catholics and Protestants, both of whom claimed his support. Today his works remain even more relevant
