Timeline
Sommerfeldt has been called a "noted and prolific medievalist" and is considered to be an expert on the Cistercian monks Bernard of Clairvaux and Aelred of Rievaulx. A Festschrift was published in 2004, titled Truth as Gift.
Sommerfeldt transferred to the private Catholic University of Dallas in Irving (Texas) in 1977. Another respected historian of the Cistercian Order, Fr. Louis Julius Lekai, taught there. Sommerfeldt served as University President from 1978 to 1980, was Dean of Constantin College of Liberal Arts and taught Medieval Studies until retirement.
He then moved to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and founded the Medieval Institute there. Beginning in 1962, he organized the bi-annual (annual as of 1970) Conference on Medieval Studies, renaming it International Congress on Medieval Studies in 1979. He was particularly devoted to finding and encouraging young scholars, which was unusual at the time. Because of several factors, among them Kalamazoo's central location, the conference developed quickly into a thriving event. The Center for Cistercian and Monastic Studies emerged from it. In 1973, Sommerfeldt was instrumental in moving the editorial offices of Cistercian Publications to Kalamazoo. His successor as director of the Medieval Institute was Otto Gründler (1928–2004).
As a young man, John Robert Sommerfeldt wanted to become a monk at the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani, but left because of poor health. He enrolled at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1951 and received all his degrees there, culminating with the doctorate in 1960. His dissertation was on Consistency of Thought in the Works of Bernard of Clairvaux. A Study of Mystical Leadership in the twelfth century (a version of which was published as „The Epistemological value of Mysticism in the Thought of Bernard of Clairvaux“ in: Studies in Medieval Culture, Kalamazoo 1964).
John R. Sommerfeldt (born February 4, 1933 in Detroit) is an American university professor, medievalist and scholar of Cistercian Studies.
