The Cambridge Companion to Anselm by Brian Davies
Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109), Benedictine monk and the second Norman archbishop of Canterbury, is regarded as one of the most important philosophers and theologians of the Middle Ages. The essays in this volume explore all his major philosophical and theological ideas, including his teachings on faith and reason, God's existence and nature, logic, freedom, truth, ethics, and key Christian doctrines. They also cover his life, the sources of his thought, and his influence on other thinkers.
'Anselm's modest but reasoned approach to his faith-centred theology is an excellent antidote to much of what passes for Christian thought todayThis book is a fine introduction to it.' Church Times
