Bernard of Clairvaux is best known by many today for his mystical
approach to spirituality and his eloquent sermons on the Song of
Songs. In his letters, however, a different Bernard emerges - one
who had fled the world for the cloister yet possessed a soaring
vision for the Church on earth. By examining select letters and
placing them in the larger context of the people and the world
around him, we discover a man who loved the Church - but who
realized that the Church is compromised of individuals who did not
share his ideals and agendas. In Letters of Ascent, we travel to
medieval Europe and view society through the eyes of one of
history's most passionate ecclesiastical reformers.
