The Bible is the monk's book. The thought and teaching of St
Bernard of Clairvaux was so saturated with Scripture that the
reader often cannot decide where the Bible ends and Bernard begins.
From direct quotations to fine allusions, Bernard assumed that his
readers were as familiar with the Bible as he was himself. It is
therefore no wonder that Bernard chose a book of the Bible, the
Song of Songs, as a vehicle for expressing his deepest and most
personal longing for God, his striving for 'full knowledge, clear
vision, a strong bond of union, a relationship which cannot be
broken apart, and perfect likeness'. Michael Casey, a Cistercian
monk in Australia, writes from the same tradition that formed St
Bernard. His study of the background and teaching of 'the last of
the Fathers' provides insights into the saint's works and gives
them contemporary meaning.
