Saint Bernard On Consideration (1908) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164010111)

""Saint Bernard On Consideration"" is a book written by George Lewis and published in 1908. The book is a translation of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux's work ""De Consideratione"" which was written in the 12th century. The book is a treatise on the art of governing oneself and others, and it is addressed to Pope Eugene III. Saint Bernard was a Cistercian monk and a prominent theologian of his time. In the book, he discusses the importance of self-reflection, the need for a leader to be considerate and just, and the role of contemplation in the spiritual life. The book is divided into five parts, with each part addressing a different aspect of consideration. The first part discusses the nature and importance of consideration, the second part discusses the qualities of a considerate leader, the third part discusses the importance of silence and solitude in the spiritual life, the fourth part discusses the dangers of pride and the importance of humility, and the fifth part discusses the role of charity in the spiritual life. The book is considered to be a classic of Christian literature and is still read and studied today by scholars and theologians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
