A New English Edition of Anselm's Major Works
Christian Theology Never Smelled So Sweet.
Critical, repetitive, for the theologically tenacious only.
Important for understanding how we got where we are This notion lies behind hundreds of evangelical and fundamentalist sermons which you can hear in churches throughout this country every Sunday. It also is partly responsible for the notion of God a lot of nonreligious people reject--a cosmic tyrant who demands perfect obedience and threatens us with punishment if we don't comply. Yet Anselm actually _never_ taught that Jesus was "punished" on our behalf. On the contrary, the debt was paid precisely so that no punishment would be necessary. Jesus' death on the cross was not a sadistic punishment exacted by an angry God, but was the culmination of his absolute obedience to God's will. It was that obedience, completed in his sacrificial death, that paid "the debt we could not owe." For Anselm, and for Christians generally, honoring God is the highest and most joyful thing we can do. It is the most truly human and humanizing activity imaginable. This is tied to Anselm's notion of God (expressed in his "Proslogion," also in this volume). For Anselm, God is the being than which nothing greater can be imagined. This isn't primarily about an omnipotent being who can make us do things. It's about a being so unimaginably glorious that the greatest happiness anyone can know is just to be in his presence. To turn away from a being like that (knowing what we're doing, which most of us don't) is to be something less than we could be. Obviously this is a bit of a modern interpretation of Anselm, but I don't think it contradicts him. I do think, though, that there are better ways to think about the Atonement than Anselm's. Earlier Christians had spoken of Jesus' death and resurrection primarily as a victory over death and the devil--what the baptismal vows in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer call the "forces that corrupt and destroy the creatures of God." Anselm didn't like this notion, because he thought it limited God's power and gave the devil some sort of independent existence (and in some versions even legal "rights"). But I think that that understanding of Jesus' saving work is probably truer to the Bible and Christian tradition than Anselm's. But even if--indeed especially if--you disagree with Anselm, he's worth reading. He and the "scholastic" theologians who followed him helped shape Christian thinking in the West for the past thousand years. They are partly responsible for the fact that Western Christians--Catholics and Protestants--think so differently from the Orthodox.

A great mind at work!
"Great Defintion for the Existence of God" He begins his treatise stating that "God is greater than that of which can be conceived."While at the same time he emphasizes that we must not be intimidated by God's incomprehensiblity, but rather that we are reconciled to the Divine Knowledge by a means of simply believing in Him.Anselm quotes from (Psalms 14:1) which says that "the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God".So to Anselm the one who does not believe is the one who will never gain understanding, and to the believer, he says that, "they set straight the path to all wisdom and understanding."Thus, an incomprehensible Being, reveals what he wills to the ones who seek Him diligently.This is the scope of his work in rudiments, but Anselm expounds with clarity on each and every subject at hand that he works with.So as the reader you never feel that you are getting to little, or to much information.Also you will invariably receive new insights (which is the bread and butter of the Ontological Argument)no matter how well read and learned you are on the subject. The introduction to this book proves itself to be invaluable by summarizing the basic philosophy of Anselm.It also contains refutations and defenses to the Ontological Argument by some of the most reknowed philosophers of all time such as Kant, Hegel, Locke, Spinoza, and Descartes', to name a few.This way you can gain a better perspective of the way you will deal with the subject matter will reading.Despite reading a few of these counter-arguments I found that none of them could add to, or take away from the sheer purity of Anslem's argument. Deemed as the second Augustine , Anselm kept an extreme adherrence to the Holy Sriptures, the edicts promulgated by the Nicene Fathers, and an emphasis rooted deeply in the power of pure reason, which rightly has acredited him such an honorabletitle. So I would strongly suggest purchasing this book.It has been a rewarding and valuable asset to have on my shelf and I hope it makes its way to yours. ... Read more |

One Heckuva Deal
Great translation, allows Anselm to speak I personally have a love/hate relationship with the great saint of Canterbury.On the one hand, as a philosopher his works on ontology and the "proofs" of God, while ultimately refuted, nevertheless have served as fodder for nearly every thinker since his time.I am constantly amazed by his depth and committment to inquiry.Many have nuanced or adapted his arguments, particularly the (in)famous "ontological" proof, and Anselm to this day still enjoys a wide readership and is likely to remain popular, not only as history, but, like Plato, as a living intellectual force. On the other hand, Anselm is responsible for bequeathing to the Christian world the feudal satisfaction theory of the atonement (Cur Deus Homo?, wonderfully presented in this translation).Anslem won the war with Abelard, and we inherited the God whose honor has to be satisfied.I dare say most Christians today have no idea that Anselm's theory was new in his day, and yet was so brilliant (in his day) that it has stood as our paradigm for the atonement ever since.There were myriad interpretations of the atonement before Anselm.Augustine would never had recognized Anselm's theory, committed as he was to a "ransom" theory, and Paul's mystical-communal "en ho christos" concept of the work of Christ certainly stands in contrast to Anselm's feudal monarchial view. Still, history and the church was with Anselm, so we today take for granted the satisfaction theory of Anselm.Sadly, the satisfaction theory is one of the most infortunate (to be kind) beliefs ever adopted by the Christian church. Five stars for the translation, minus one because I cannot give even the mighty Anselm a perfect score.The message is more important than the medium, however satisfying the medium may be. ...
