Two Medieval Soteriologies: Anselm Of Canterbury And Julian Of Norwich, Joan Nuth

Joan M. Nuth

Compares the soteriologies of Anselm of Canterbury and Julian of Norwich. Immense influence of Anselm's `Cur Deus Homo' upon the development of soteriology; Julian's `Showings' as an important medieval soteriological study alongside with `Cur Deus Homo'; Similarities which bring closer together the seemingly extreme justice-rationalism of Anselm and the unseemingly unqualified universalism of Julian.
