Anselm and Talking About God

by G.R. Evans

Anselm possessed a naturally metaphysical mind of rare quality, and he had a capacity for sustained application of thought which distinguishes him from all his contemporaries and from the majority of the medieval writers who came after him. But above all he had the gift of making the profoundly difficult simple. It is this attractive quality of his thought which this book seeks to show.
