The Medieval Theologians

An Introduction to Theology in the Medieval Period.This
comprehensive introduction to medieval theology introduces students to the
period through examination of the major individual theologians of the time.
Chronologically arranged, it allows students to explore the crucial period
between the Church Fathers and the Reformation when theology first emerged as
an academic discipline and when important controversies took place. These
issues clarified the nature and purpose of the church and the sacraments, and
reopened many of the earlier debates about orthodoxy. This was the period which
sowed the seeds of the divisions in the church which have persisted until
today. Introduced with an editorial essay from G.R. Evans, this volume
will appeal to theologians and historians. Each theologian is presented by a
world renowned scholar who also demonstrates the relevance of medieval
theological debate to the modern period. Series: The Great
