The History of Theology - Middle Ages

Klappentext At last! a thorough! balanced! and readable history of medieval theology for nonspecialist readers! This is that book we so often ask for and so seldom get: written by a scholar for everyone to read. Giulio DOnofrio! a historian of philosophy and theology! uses his deep and broad-ranging knowledge of the thought of the scholars (Christian! Jewish! and Muslim) of the Middle Ages to describe in a thoroughly readable style the development of ideas from the beginnings of what can rightly be called Western culture to the Renaissance and the eve of the Reformation. No longer can medieval theology be regarded as merely Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure with appendages fore and aft. This book is a page-turner! as readers are continually invited to join scholars and mystics of another age in the perennial pursuit of faith seeking understanding.
