For I believe this also, that unless I believe, I shall not understand.' Does God exist?  Can we know anything about God's nature? Have we any reason to think that the Christian religion is true?  What is truth, anyway? Do human beings have freedom of choice?  Can they have such freedom in a world created by God? These questions, and others, were ones which Anselm of Canterbury (c.1033-1109) took very seriously. He was utterly convinced of the truth of the Christian religion, but he was also determined to try to make sense of his Christian faith. Recognizing that the Christian God is incomprehensible, he also believed that Christianity is not simply something to be swallowed with mouth open and eyes shut.  For Anselm, the doctrines of Christianity are an invitation to question, to think, and to learn. Anselm is studied today because his rigour of thought and clarity of writing place him among the greatest of theologians and philosophers. This translation provides readers with their first opportunity to read all of his most important works within the covers of a single volume.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579386994961,"sku":"GOR002749757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49959747322129,"sku":"CIN0192825259G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50129432805649,"sku":"CIN0192825259A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50641618665745,"sku":"CIN0192825259VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51853878788369,"sku":"GOR011838420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53341853778193,"sku":"GOR014861765","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0192825259.jpg?v=1751439388"},{"product_id":"st-anselm-s-proslogion-book-saint-anselm-9780268016975","title":"St. Anselm's Proslogion","description":"In the Proslogion St. Anselm presents a philosophical argument for the existence of God.

In the Proslogium, or Discourse on the Existence of God we find the origination of the ontological argument for the existence of God. Saint Anselm's rationalizations for Christian beliefs are continued in his Monologium or Monologue in which he argues that anyone of reasonable intelligence should be able to see proof for the existence of God in examining the various degrees of good and evil in the world. Cur Deus Homo or Why God Became Man discusses how Jesus Christ was sent to atone for God's dissatisfaction with mankind, defending God's honor and justice. Saint Anselm's ideas were not universally accepted, which is exhibited by the rebuttal of Benedictine monk Gaunilo, In Behalf of the Fool, a work which is included along with Saint Anslem's response in this volume. Because Saint Anselm's rationalization for spirituality did not rely on empirical evidence but rather was based purely on intuitive reasoning his beliefs were truly a testament of his personal faith in God. Saint Anselm's writings, as well as the critique by Gaunilo, remain to this day as critical expositions on Christian theology. This collection of Saint Anselm's works is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Sidney Norton Deane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50933269922065,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50933270348049,"sku":"CIN1420959492G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778118873361,"sku":"NIN9781420959499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1420959492.jpg?v=1751146261"},{"product_id":"st-anselm-s-book-of-meditations-and-prayers-book-saint-anselm-9781849028035","title":"St. Anselm's Book of Meditations and Prayers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51053029753105,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053032210705,"sku":"NIN9781849028035","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849028036.jpg?v=1751123298"},{"product_id":"cur-deus-homo-book-saint-anselm-9781411646438","title":"Cur Deus Homo","description":"A thought provoking book on the deepest questions which have plagued mankind for time and eternity.
