An excellent compendium of the Cistercian tradition.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book forms part of a series on the exploration of Christian traditions. It served my purposes beautifully since I was curious at probing the development and the differences between the various RC orders. Esther De Waal is quite an expert on the Cistercian tradition, being an erudite Merton scholar. In this book, she writes an easy to read synopsis of the Cistercian Order and what makes it unique. I find the book informative and invitng to read. It also introdued me to some greats such as St. Bernard and Aelred. An excellent addition to a religious library.
