"This study argues that Bernard impacted Europe politically, ecclesiastically, and spiritually because his own life embodied so many of the ideals and values of his age - some of which had not crystallized until his coming." "Bernard saw the Church as the sum of all those pursuing, however feebly, the path to perfection. For him, Noah, Daniel, and Job signified the three orders of church and society: prelates, monks, and laypeople. His enthusiasm for church and society was matched by his confidence that people throughout Europe could respond positively to God's invitation to perfection and thus could reach the goal of happiness, no matter the social order to which they belonged or the pilgrim's path they followed."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Bernard of Clairvaux, the twelfth-century monk who wrote that "Jesus is honey in the mouth, melody in the ear, a cry of joy in the heart," was both a mystic and a reformer. His writings reveal a mystical theology that Thomas Merton, a monastic heir to Bernard’s Cistercian reform, says "explains what it means to be united to God in Christ but (also) shows the meaning of the whole economy of our redemption in Christ." Critical of the monastic opulence of his times, Bernard exhorted his monks to consider that "Salt with hunger is seasoning enough for a man living soberly and wisely." Martin Luther believed that Bernard was "the best monk that ever lived, whom I admire beyond all the rest put together." Bernard's zeal and charisma led to the reform of Christian life in medieval Europe. Today it is reported that Pope Benedict XVI keeps Bernard's treatise Advice to a Pope close at hand for spiritual support. Honey and Salt is an original selection for the general reader of Bernard’s sermons, treatises, and letters.

Two lengthy letters from the abbot of Clairvaux illuminate the transition in theological method in the mid twelfth-century. In this letter to the bishop of Sens on the responsibilities of his office, Bernard articulates his monastic conviction that authority in the Church must be accompanied by contemplative virtues, especially a deeply ingrained humility. Pastors who do attend to their own spiritual health, he explains, are incapable of caring for others. In his letter of baptism, written to Hugh of Saint Victor, Bernard seeks to refute what he considered the doctrinal error of an unnamed scholar-likely Peter Abelard-and assails a theological method he deemed likely to mislead the faithful, because-as Emero Stiegman says in the Introduction-he considered all theological questions 'in the perspective of God's love'. These two letter-treatises (42 and 77) are not included in Bruno Scott James' English translation of The Letters of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.

"Love is the essence, the very substance of God." Bernard of Clairvaux had a tremendous influence on the eleventh century-and his understanding of Divine love can still inspire and challenge us. Anamchara's modern version of Loving God brings Bernard's teachings into the twenty-first century, allowing modern mystics the opportunity to once again sit at the feet of this great theologian. "All things are ordered-measured, numbered, and weighed-by love's structure, and nothing is left outside love's realm." -Bernard of Clairvaux

In 1090 St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a monk of the Cistercian order, was born. One of the great figures of his age, he travelled and preached widely; Cistercian abbeys were founded all over Europe. He left many writings which included his famous treatises on humility, on the love of God, on grace and free will, and his masterpiece on the Song of Songs. It is from these writings that this collection is drawn. Here we see, not only a compassionate, thoughtful man, not only a scholar devoted to the Bible and to the works of the Fathers, but a Christian of extraordinary vision and faith. To him God's healing power, God's love, and our acceptance of our own weakness, were central to the message of Christ. Love Without Measure brings this message newly alive to us today, in timeless words that reach across the centuries.
