About the Show

Written during a time of deep personal turmoil in England and completed in the tranquil solitude of Schiavi, Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo? stands as his literary masterpiece. This profound work continues to engage readers today, even those with little background in Catholic theology. While the title suggests an inquiry into the purpose of the Incarnation, Anselms true aim is to explore the rationale behind the economy of redemption. He poses critical questions Was the Incarnation a slight against Gods majesty? What barriers did the Fall create against Divine forgiveness? Could these barriers have been overcome in a manner other than through the Incarnation? Ultimately, how was redemption achieved through the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ? Anselm skillfully navigates these inquiries in a dialectical format, presenting a dialogue with his friend Boso, who acts as the Advocatus Diaboli, challenging the entire divine plan. - Summary by James Macmullen Rigg (1855-1926)
