Heroic Lives | EP 11 - Saint Bonaventure

Journey with us into the life of Saint Anselm of Canterbury, a monk, philosopher, theologian, and Archbishop, whose faith and intellect reshaped medieval theology. Known as the Father of Scholasticism, Anselm demonstrated that faith and reason walk hand in hand.

In this episode, explore his life from his early years in Aosta to his monastic formation, his struggles defending the Church’s independence, and his pioneering theological insights, including the ontological argument for God’s existence and the satisfaction theory of atonement. Discover how his prayers, teachings, and writings continue to inspire Catholics today to seek God with both heart and mind.
