St. Bernard of Clairvaux: On the Love of God & Other Writings - Paperback

by Coventry Patmore (Translator), Marianne Caroline Byles Patmore (Translator), Anthem Publishing (Foreword by)

Discover this classic work from one of the Church's most beloved doctors, St. Bernard of Clairvaux. A work of spirituality rather than systematic theology, Bernard probes the depths of God's love with a distinctly human touch, Bernard brings readers into a new intimacy with God.

Along the way, Bernard, of course, offers a profound theological statement about the divine-human relationship but his primary aim is to usher his readers into deeper communion with God. Most profoundly and yet simply, Bernard shows us that we ought to love God for no other reason than that he is a gracious and benevolent God and we need but merely wake up to the freedom that God has given us to love him.
