These spiritual reflections guide their readers toward God's embrace.

In Embracing God, Marsha L. Dutton surveys the interwoven structures and themes of five treatises, showing how Aelred guides his readers to cling forever to God through memory, which is one of the three faculties of God's image placed in humankind at creation (alongside reason and will). Individual chapters explore meditations on Jesus' life, spiritual friendship, the eucharistic nature of Cistercian spirituality, and the nature of the soul.

Reviews for Embracing God: Essays on the Spiritual Treatises of Aelred of Rievaulx Volume 302

""Marsha Dutton's close readings of Aelred's works bring a deeper understanding of a major unifying thread in Aelred's thought--the relationship between human beings and God. This collection of essays underscores the manner in which that relationship informs in unanticipated ways a diverse array of Aelred's texts. From iconographic imagery to theological philosophy, to ideological origins and contexts, the reader will find no shortage of illuminating insights in Dutton's work. Aelred scholars will not be disappointed."" Christopher Coski, professor of French, Ohio University -- (10/22/2024 12:00:00 AM)
