Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on S. Bernard of Clairvaux: With Appendix on the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the B. V. M
Some apology may be needed for attempting to tell again an oft told tale. But the Life of S. Bernard can never lose its fascination although oft repeated. The following pages grew out of an attempt to study S. Bernard's theology, and were delivered as a course of lectures to a number of persons in S. Pancras who were anxious to read in the History of the Church.
An Appendix on the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M. has been added to show the marvellous change which has taken place in the attitude of a portion of the Church towards this subject since S. Bernard's day. The English Church is at one with S. Bernard against more modern teachings, in asserting that this new dogma forms no part of the Apostolic teaching, and has no support in Catholic Tradition for the first twelve hundred years.
