Produktbeschreibung

In this magisterial account of the life and work of St Anselm, now in paperback, Sir Richard Southern provides a study in depth of one of the most fascinating minds in Christian history. This study covers Anselm's development in prayer, friendship, philosophy and theology, and theological controversy; in his position as archbishop; in his relations with his disciples and transmitters of his teaching; in the records of his sermons and informal talk; and finally in his relations with his biographer.
