Saint Anselm (1033-1109), Abbot of the Monastery of Bec in northern France, became Archbishop of Canterbury under William Rufus and Henry I. In her short study of one of the most original thinkers of the early Middle Ages, Sister Benedicta Ward discusses the relationship between Anselm’s scholarship and his life as a monk. He combines a disciplined mind with simplicity, love, compassion and gentleness. His understanding of the inter-connections of reason and faith, thought and prayer, remains significant for Christian theology.
