'For I do not see to understand so that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand.  For I believe this also, that "unless I believe, I shall not understand".' —St. Anselm

About the Author

Saint Anselm, born in Aosta, Italy, in 1033, was a prominent medieval philosopher and theologian known for his contributions to scholasticism. Renowned for his ontological argument for the existence of God presented in Proslogion, Anselm also authored Cur Deus Homo (Why God Became Man), exploring the theological significance of Christ's incarnation. Serving as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 until his death in 1109, Anselm played a crucial role in ecclesiastical affairs while leaving a lasting impact on Western theology and philosophy.
