G.R. Evans
The Medieval Theologians: An Introduction to Theology in the Medieval Period (The Great Theologians)
This comprehensive introduction to medieval theology introduces students to the period through examination of the major individual theologians of the time, including Bede. Chronologically arranged, it allows students to explore the crucial period between the Church Fathers and the Reformation when theology first emerged as an academic discipline and when important controversies took place. These issues clarified the nature and purpose of the church and the sacraments and reopened many of the earlier debates about orthodoxy. Introduced with an editorial essay from G.R. Evans, this volume should appeal to theologians and historians. Each theologian is presented by a world renowned scholar who also demonstrates the relevance of medieval theological debate to the modern period. Sister Benedicta Ward contributed the chapter discussing Bede the Theologian.
G R Evans is Lecturer in History at the University of Cambridge, and the author of numerous critically-acclaimed books in the fields of patristic, medieval, and Reformation history and theology. She has also written extensively on contemporary ecclesiological issues.
