In this intimate portrait of one of the Middle Ages' most consequential men, Brian Patrick McGuire delves into the life of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to offer a refreshing interpretation that finds within this grand historical figure a deeply spiritual human being who longed for the reflective quietude of the monastery even as he helped shape the destiny of a church and a continent.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 222 This essay examines the theology of, and relationship between, the saintly Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153), customarily considered a traditionalist, and the arrogant, brilliant and controversial philosopher Peter Abelard (1079–1142), disruptive and famously disgraced in his lifetime.

The day Bernard was born, his mother raised him up to Heaven and consecrated him to God. Although she was gentle and loving, she was also firm and resolute. She was attentive to all her children, giving of herself completely, but with her third born son, she knew in her heart she had been given a special gift from God and she wanted to nurture him and prepare him for his role on Earth. The results: Bernard grew up obedient, brave, hardworking, and surprisingly unspoiled, not unlike his other siblings.

En faisant l'éloge des Templiers et de leur mission, Bernard de Clairvaux dresse ici le portrait d'une chevalerie destinée à défendre la justice.

Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) was a Burgundian abbot who was credited with the revitalization of the Benedictine order through the nascent Order of the Cistercians. He lived during the time of schism, when the head of the church was in contention.
