St. Anselm's writings are more philosophical in nature than theological. There are four works of his that are in this book, and are very profound. This is NOT a recreational book! The selections that are in here are Proslogion, Monologion, Cur Deus Homo(Why God Became Man), and Gaunilo's In Behalf of the Fool(Anselm's Response to Gaunilo). The first two are the best selections. The Cur Deus Homo is done in dialogue form and is more difficult to follow. I would recommend this if you like philosophy, and if you were studying about the existence of God, as well as the Trinity(Cur Deus Homo). This is not for new Christians!

Hey...
My name is Eddie, and I'm the real boss around here. I read all of the books, and tell Erik what I think of them, so when you read the reviews, think of me!
