Richard William Church

In this magisterial study of the life and work of St. Anselm, Sir Richard Southern provides the definitive study of one of the most complex and fascinating philosophical minds in Christian history. St. Anselm brings together all the elements of a man whose intensely concentrated search for God filled all the phases and aspects of his life and work. Nothing in Anselm's thinking was simply ordinary or typical of his age. (Barenes & Noble).

"The Oxford Movement is a celebrated and long out-of-print history of one of the most important movements within the Anglican communion during the nineteenth century. R. W. Church, a participant in the events he describes and one of the great Victorian men of letters, mingles autobiographical reminiscence with retrospective historical analysis. The entire text and original notes as Church left them are reprinted here with an introduction by Geoffrey Best." -- Back cover.
