by St Bernard Of Clairvaux (Author), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

St. Bernard in this short treatise attributed to him lays out the moral battle between good and evil that takes place in every human soul. He lays out the need for Christian virtue and how they can be employed to offer proper guidance against the army of vices that inhabit the world. St. Bernard exalts two virtues among others: charity and humility as the seed of all other virtues, and necessary for any type of spiritual combat.
