Drawing on Sufi masters and St. Bernard, Merton explains the importance of the limits of knowledge about God. What is important in both traditions is the more direct knowledge of God, the knowledge that comes through love. Merton shares some of the techniques contemplatives have traditionally used to cultivate this more direct knowledge.

1828JSpaXOLove and Purity of HeartMerton's appreciation of St. Bernard is evident as he explains why St. Bernard is so important in our tradition. He relates the virtue of love to the inner dynamics of the Trinity, and as he does, he develops almost a theology of love.
