Críticas:

"With A Companion to Bernard of Clairvaux, Brill continues its excellent series with a worthwhile collection of essays examining Bernard and his works from a variety of angles. [...] McGuire should be commended for his efforts. This work is a wonderful compilation for scholars who desire to deepen their knowledge of and appreciation for this important and complex medieval personality."
Michael C. Voigts, Asbury Theological Seminary. In: Church History, Vol. 81, No. 3 (September 2012), pp. 671-672.

"This is a collection of essays that, in keeping with the intentions of the series, provides an introduction to, not an exhaustive study of, one of the great figures in medieval monastic history: St. Bernard, founding abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Clairvaux [...]. Cistercian scholars and those coming new to Bernard will find much of interest in this collection."
Janet Burton, University of Wales Trinity Saint David. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 64, No. 1 (January 2013), pp. 146-147.

''This book is an important updating on Bernardine study, entirely by authoritative scholars [...] it will certainly benefit scholars and people with a broad interest in medieval thought, and the footnotes, bibliography and analytic index are invaluable.''
Marsha L. Dutton, Ohio University. In: American Benedictine Review, 64, 2013, p.449.

''McGuire hat mit seinem vorgelegten Band eine neue bedeutsame Arbeit zu Bernhards Leben und Werk geschaffen.''
Immo Eberl, Ellwangen/Tübingen University. In: Francia-Recensio, 2011/3 Mittelalter - Moyen Âge (500-1500).

Reseña del editor:

Bernard of Clairvaux emerges from these studies as a vibrant, challenging and illuminating representative of the monastic culture of the twelfth century. In taking on Peter Abelard and the new scholasticism he helped define the very world he opposed and thus contributed to the renaissance of the twelfth century.
