Anselm takes on an interesting task to prove the existence and nature of God from pure reason alone without using any biblical texts in the first two sections. In the last he sets up a strange question snd answer session with someone where he answers questions as to why it was necessary that God became man in Christ and the nature of the incarnation. It was an interesting read, but some parts felt forced and the format of the last felt unnecessary.
