HONEY AND SALT is a collection for the general reader of the sermons and letters of one of the greatest religious thinkers of his age, a twelfth-century monk known for his strict monasticism tempered by a sweetness, gentleness, and purity of vision - a combination of honey and salt. A passionate reformer and a man of God who well understood human struggles, Bernard of Clairvaux has had a profound influence on believers for more than eight centuries.
Bernard of Clairvaux, the twelfth-century monk who wrote that "Jesus is honey in the mouth, melody in the ear, a cry of joy in the heart," was both a mystic and a reformer. His writings reveal a mystical theology that Thomas Merton, a monastic heir to Bernard's Cistercian reform, says "explains what it means to be united to God in Christ but (also) shows the meaning of the whole economy of our redemption in Christ." Critical of the monastic opulence of his times, Bernard exhorted his monks to consider that "Salt with hunger is seasoning enough for a man living soberly and wisely." Martin Luther believed that Bernard was "the best monk that ever lived, whom I admire beyond all the rest put together." Bernard's zeal and charisma led to the reform of Christian life in medieval Europe. Today it is reported that Pope Benedict XVI keeps Bernard's treatise Advice to a Pope close at hand for spiritual support. Honey and Salt is an original selection for the general reader of Bernard's sermons, treatises, and letters.
