The Cambridge Companion to Anselm Avis

'Anselm's modest but reasoned approach to his faith-centred theology is an excellent antidote to much of what passes for Christian thought today. This book is a fine introduction to it.' Church Times
'... the usefulness of this Companion extends well beyond the study of medieval philosophy. ... Overall, this is an exceptional collection of essays in terms of the breadth of coverage of Anselm's philosophical and theological writings, the quality and clarity of the essays, and their accessibility and usefulness to students. The Cambridge Companion to Anselm will quickly become a standard resource for teaching both medieval philosophy and the philosophy of religion.' International Journal for Philosophy of Religion
'Philosophers and theologians will find this collection a valuable addition to medieval thought ... The Cambridge Companion to Anselm will be a valuable addition to library collections in philosophy, theology and medieval studies.' Reference Reviews
