Anselm

[VirginiaHuguenot]

For I seek not to understand in order that I may believe; but I believe in order that I may understand, for I believe for this reason: that unless I believe, I cannot understand. -- Anselm

 

[turmeric]

Anselm is the Man! Have you read his Cur Deus Homo? I use his arguments w/Roman Catholics when I get the chance.

I am not nearly well versed enough in Anselm, but I have tremendous respect for him. I believe him to be one of the most original thinkers in the Church between Augustine and the Reformation.

I have a good book called Confessing Our Hope (essays celebrating the life of Morton H. Smith) which contains a chapter by a friend of mine, Jerry Crick, called: The Doctrine of Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ as Seen in St. Anselm of Canterbury's Cur Deus Homo. I recommend it highly!
