Bredero has produced a book that summarizes his lifelong
preoccupation with the greatest saint of the twelfth century . . .
The problem that intrigues Bredero . . . is the tension between
Bernard the powerful churchman, resented by many contemporaries and
by many interpreters still today, and Bernard the monk, master
communicator of the most intimate spiritual experiences, beloved by
numerous contemporaries, by John Calvin, and by many readers still
today . . . A magisterial overview. John Van Engen in Church
History Adriaan H. Bredero first began reading Bernard of Clairvaux
in 1944 as a young university student forced into hiding by the
Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Over the past sixty years,
Bredero's academic interest in Bernard has branched out to cover
topics as diverse as the historical value of the vita prima,
Bernard's part in the conflict between Citeaux and Cluny, and the
image of St. Bernard as it has been developed by hagiographers and
scholars through the ages. Bernard of Clairvaux: Between Cult and
History summarizes Bredero's lifelong study of Bernard, the
Cistercian monk who was arguably the most influential
ecclesiastical figure of the twelfth century and who remains one of
the church's most venerated saints.
