Reviews
This inspiring book ... is a refreshing take on the thirteenth-century Cistercians. Karen Stoeber, Universitat de Lleida, Catalunya. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 66, No. 4 (2015), pp. 862-863. This is a lucid and thought-provoking book. Sternberg offers an acute analysis of the influence of Modernist visions on the development of the scholarly idea of a world-forsaking Cistercian architecture and challenges this idea with rich and insightful case-studies, shedding light on the range of relations between the white monks and medieval society. His astute and reflective work is of interest for students of medieval religion and its societal manifestations and for anyone concerned with the charged emergence of scholarly paradigms. Mette Birkedal Bruun, University of Copenhagen (unpublished endorsement).
