Sandra Visser and Thomas Williams offer a brief, accessible introduction to the life and thought of Saint Anselm (c. 1033-1109). Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury for the last sixteen years of his life, is one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of the Middle Ages. His keen and rigorous thinking earned him the title "The Father of Scholasticism," and his influence is discernible in figures as various as Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, the voluntarists of the late-thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and the Protestant reformers. In part I of this book, Visser and Williams lay out the framework of Anselm's thought : his approach to what he calls "the reason of faith," his account of thought and language, and his theory of truth. Part II focuses on Anselm's account of God and the divine attributes, and it shows how Anselm applies his theory of language and thought to develop a theological semantics that at once respects divine transcendence and allows for the possibility of divine rational knowledge. In Part III, Visser and Williams turn from the heavenly to the animal. They elucidate Anselm's theory of modality and his understanding of free choice, an idea that was, for Anselm, embedded in his conception of justice. The book concludes with a discussion of Incarnation, Atonement, and original sin, as the authors examine Anselm's argument that the death of a God-man is the only possible remedy for human injustice.

Die Synthese von Glaube und Vernunft gehört zu den zentralen Leistungen der scholastischen Theologie des Mittelalters. Anselm von Canterbury, dessen 900. Todestag 2009 begangen wird, und seinem Konzept, den christlichen Glauben "sola ratione" zu begründen, kommt dabei maßgebliche Bedeutung zu. Angesichts der heutigen Suche nach einer neuen Zuordnung von Glaube und Vernunft, die sich mit der Wiederkehr der Religionen als Problem stellt, kann eine Rückbesinnung auf Anselm von Canterbury, den "Vater der Scholastik", und eine Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Denken nicht nur von historischem, sondern auch von systematischem Interesse sein. Der vorliegende Band gibt einen Überblick über die zentralen Schriften Anselms und die thematischen Schwerpunkt seines Denkens. Dabei wird die begriffliche und gedankliche Einheit dieses Werks ebenso deutlich wie die Eigenart seines methodischen Zugangs.
