<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm</i> (1070-1080) is a collection of writings by Anselm of Aosta. Written during his time at Bec Abbey in Normandy, <i>The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm</i> is a deeply personal and meditative work of theology written by a figure whose service as Archbishop of Canterbury is noted for his fierce independence from royal authority and devotion to meaningful reform in the Catholic Church. Included in this collection are Anselm's "Prayer to God," a meditation focused on the Lord's Prayer, and the "Prayer to Christ," a moving piece that addresses the importance of John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene to the Son of God. Apparent throughout <i>The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm</i> are the author's preoccupation with the nature of the soul, the doctrine of original sin, and the mysteries inherent to belief. Often considered the father of scholasticism, an important medieval school of philosophy, Anselm believes foremost in the ability of reason to sharpen and illuminate faith, allowing him to reconcile his Christian identity with his application of Neoplatonism while maintaining the supremacy of the Church and God over all aspects of inquiry. Canonized as a saint following his death in 1109, Anselm has long been recognized as a leader in the medieval Church and as a foundational figure for Christianity in England. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Anselm of Aosta's <i>The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm</i> is a classic of Christian theology reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Written before Anselm became Archbishop of Canterbury, these meditations on the saints, tradition, and prayer illuminate the philosophical prowess of one of medieval Europe's leading scholars. Deeply personal and highly influential, <i>The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm</i> are a foundational document in Christian theology from a figure who should be regarded in the same light of Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.</p>
