The Christian Tradition 3: the growth of medieval theology 600-1300

This book is based on a most meticulous examination of medieval authorities and the growth of medieval theology is essentially told in their own words. What is more important, however, then the astounding number of primary sources the author has consulted or his sovereign familiarity with modern studies on his subject, is his ability to discern form and direction in the bewildering growth of medieval Christian doctrine, and, by thoughtful emphasis and selection, to show the pattern of that development in a lucid and persuasive narrative. No one interested in the history of Christianity or theology and no medievalist, whatever the field of specialization, will be able to ignore this magnificent synthesis.

Info Detail Spesifik

The completion of The Growth of Medieval Theology has brought my history of the development of Christian doctrine well past the halfway point, with the period of the Reformation and the modern era reserved for the two remaining volumes. In the present volume, even more than in either of the preceding ones, it has been necessary to adhere strictly to the definition of the work as a whole set down in the introduction to volume 1. Most histories of medieval doctrine have been histories of Christian thought, or even histories of philosophical thought, rather than histories of what the church believed, taught, and confessed on the basis of the word of God. For that reason certain issues (for example, the question of universals) and certain thinkers (above all, Thomas Aquinas) have been far more prominent in such histories than they are here. Although I was, as my earlier publications indicate, better prepared to write about Thomas than about any of the other authors on whom I have drawn in the present volume, the limitations I have imposed on the subject matter of The Christian Tradition made a detailed exposition of Thomistic thought unjustifiable, despite its obvious attractions.
