On Loving God

"You want me to tell you why God is to be loved and how much. I answer, the reason for loving God is God Himself."


On Loving God is a brief medieval treatise by the luminary monk, Bernard of Clairvaux. Bernard writes upon four types of love which a Christian experiences along the course of their spiritual growth. In this text, Bernard writes with an unusual clarity of image, and eloquence trademark of theological writing in the medieval period.
