8. Anselm (1033-1109)
(1) He was born in about 1033 at Asota, in Italy. He entered the Benedictine monastery at Bec in Normandy when he was young man of twenty-six.
(2) In 1063, he became prior of the monastery, in succession to Lanfrac, who became abbot elsewhere.
(3) His life can be divided into three periods of about fifteen years each;
1) as prior of Bec (1063-1078)
2) as abbot of Bec (1078-1093)
3) as archbishop of Canterbury (1093-1109)
(4) He claimed with successive kings over the question of the independence of the English Church from the king and the role of the pope in England. As a result, he spent most of his time as archbishop in exile on the Continent.
(5) He was the first great theologian of the mediaeval West and is seen by some as the founder of scholasticism.
(6) He follows Augustine's method of 'faith seeking understanding'. In other words, he believes that the theologian who believes can then seek, by the use of reason, to understand more fully that which he believes. Namely reason can show the rationality and inner coherence of Christian doctrine.
(7) He pursued this method in three major writings:
1) Monologion (1077)
(Originally called An Example of Meditation on the Grounds of Faith).
2) Prologion (1078)
(Originally called Faith Seeking Understanding).
3) Cur Deus Homo (Why God Became Man (1090)
(As Incarnation of the Word by Anthanasius)
(8) His argument for the existence of God, namely 'Ontological Argument'. He defined God as 'the greatest conceivable being'.
(9) His arguments for the existence of God and the incarnation are impressive, but not without its weaknesses.
