ACTS Seminaries: THS 691—Introduction to Medieval Theology: Special Emphasis on Anselm (Spring Term, 2012)
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to medieval scholasticism from the avenue of Anselm’s theological reflections. The student will be introduced to medieval scholasticism’s most prominent thinkers/leaders as well as its most notable theological currents. In addition, attention will be paid to the influencing factors from earlier theological movements as well as scholasticism’s lasting imprint upon contemporary theology. The course will give particular attention to the doctrine of soteriology as presented in Anselm’s basic writings. Two or three chapters of Anselm’s Proslogium will be read in its original Latin on a weekly basis with the professor.
