Bernard Of Clairvaux And His Controversy With Abelard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162906584)

Bernard of Clairvaux and His Controversy with Abelard is a book written by Richard S. Storrs that delves into the theological dispute between two prominent figures in medieval Christianity. Bernard of Clairvaux, a Cistercian monk and theologian, and Peter Abelard, a philosopher and theologian, had differing views on the nature of God and the role of reason in understanding religious doctrine. Storrs examines the historical context of their debate, the theological issues at stake, and the impact their ideas had on the Church and medieval society. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the controversy, drawing on primary sources and secondary scholarship to offer a nuanced understanding of the complex theological and philosophical ideas involved. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval theology and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christianity.THIS 88 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Bernard of Clairvaux: The Times, the Man and His Work, by Richard S.
