It also operated with a profound view of human understanding (in terms of intellectus rather than mere ratio). In a post-modern climate, in which the modern views on 'autonomous reason' are increasingly being questioned, it may prove fruitful to re-engage with pre-modern thinkers who, obviously, did not share our modern and post-modern presuppositions. Their different perspective does not antiquate their thought, as some of the 'cultured despisers' of medieval thought might imagine. On the contrary, rather than rendering their views obsolete it makes them profoundly challenging and enriching for theology today. This book is more than a survey of key medieval thinkers (from Augustine to the late-medieval period); it is an invitation to think along with major theologians and explore how their thought can deeply challenge some of today's modern and post-modern key assumptions. 410 0$aIntroduction to religion. 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal$xHistory 676 $a230.09/02 700 $aVan Nieuwenhove$b Rik$f1967-$0976953 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452251403321 996 $aAn introduction to medieval theology$92225576 997 $aUNINA
