Cur Deus Homo is Anselm's rigorous inquiry into why God became human, framed as a dialogue with the monk Boso. Eschewing appeal to bare authority, he articulates the satisfaction theory: sin incurs a debt no finite creature can pay, so only the God-man can restore justice and mercy.

Produktbeschreibung
Cur Deus Homo is Anselm's rigorous inquiry into why God became human, framed as a dialogue with the monk Boso. Eschewing appeal to bare authority, he articulates the satisfaction theory: sin incurs a debt no finite creature can pay, so only the God-man can restore justice and mercy. In lucid, tightly argued Latin, the treatise models early scholastic method while rooted in monastic devotion, and decisively shaped Western reflection on Incarnation and redemption. Benedictine monk and later Archbishop of Canterbury, Anselm brought to theology the philosophical discipline of the Monologion and Proslogion. Formed by Augustine and realist metaphysics, and writing amid ecclesial conflicts and pastoral care, he sought to render mysteries intelligible by reason for believers and questioners alike. His classroom habits - patient questioning, careful distinctions - govern the dialogue's progress. Scholars of theology, philosophy of religion, and medieval studies will find here a compact masterpiece. Whether you seek a seminal account of atonement or a classic of faith seeking understanding, Cur Deus Homo offers clarity, rigor, and spiritual seriousness in rare combination - an indispensable guide for probing the logic of the Incarnation. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
