Inhaltsangabe
Recorded in 1964 at his monastery, Thomas Merton gave these lectures to novice Cistercians. Today, you are invited into Merton’s classroom for an intimate discussion about one of Christianity’s most influential figures.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, O. Cist. (1090 - 1153) is one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity: a founder, reformer, and Doctor of the Church. Now, you can take Thomas Merton, renowned mystic and follower of St. Bernard, as your guide for exploring the life and theology of St. Bernard. St. Bernard’s impact on Christianity is wide-reaching: He was the patron saint of the Knights Templar, and he influenced such figures as Hildegard of Bingen.
Like St. Bernard, Thomas Merton was a member of the Cistercian Order, a group of religious men and women devoted to the monastic life. Founded in 1098, the Cistercian Order sought to restore the foundational Rule of St. Benedict. After entering the Cistercian Order, St. Bernard became the Abbot of Clairvaux, where he revived the monastic life.
In these talks, Merton explores St. Bernard’s conversion story, his letters, and the power of the ascetic life - both in his time and in ours. Those looking to expand their knowledge of the history of Christianity will find this course fascinating.
This set includes an afterword by Dr. James Finley, one of Merton’s former students at Gethsemani.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
Note: These lectures were recorded live in the open-air classrooms of Gethsemani where Merton gave instruction. One of the recordings contains some distortion from the wind.

Worth it to hear Thomas Merton
If you want to learn a lot about the life of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, you’ll probably be disappointed. There is a bit about St. Bernard as a child and also more focus on his conversion, but little biographical information per se. It looks like these are only the first of more hours of instruction on the saint’s life; if can be published from the archives, that would be wonderful.
In any case, it is a privilege to taste the atmosphere of these live recordings of classes in the monastery, as Thomas Merton uses his deep literary experience to guide the novices in how to read stories of saints’ lives, teaching how to extract the meaning in order to translate it for application to life in the (then) 20th century. His reflections contain pearls of wisdom, and food for thought, even for those of us who are not monastics.
My recommendation: Be sure to listen to the LAST chapter of the audiobook FIRST. It contains a short but very valuable introduction by James Finley that (in my opinion) sets the stage perfectly. I wish you fruitful listening!
