The Mystical Theology Of St. Bernard - Paperback

by Etienne Gilson (Author), A. H. C. Downes (Translator)

""The Mystical Theology of St. Bernard"" by Etienne Gilson is a comprehensive exploration of the mystical theology of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent 12th-century French abbot and theologian. Gilson delves deeply into Bernard's writings and teachings, examining his views on the nature of God, the relationship between the human soul and God, and the role of contemplation and prayer in achieving spiritual enlightenment. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Bernard's mystical theology: the nature of God, the human soul, and the mystical experience. Throughout the book, Gilson provides insightful commentary and analysis, drawing on his extensive knowledge of medieval philosophy and theology. ""The Mystical Theology of St. Bernard"" is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christian mysticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
