Description
Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), one of Christianity's greated mystics and father of what was prehaps the most inflential new monastic order of—the Cistercians—devoted eighteen years of his life to his literary master piece. Sermons on the Song of Songs. Although the Song of Songs, a brief book in the old Testiment, contains no explicit mention of God, the passionate love poetry became for Bernard a springboard into a major exposition of Scripture and an illuminated allegory of the spiritual life. Simply said, this gentle saint found God incarnate in every word. This volume containing excerpts for each of Bernard's 86 sermons, joins the Paraclete Christian Classics Series, a highly-acclaimed series devoted to making the great writers of the faith accessible to today's readers. Offering a fascinating glimpse pf Christian theology, these writings encourage us to open ourselves to a new experience of love—the transforming and all—fulfilling embrace.
