Description
After Jean Leclercq’s L’amour des lettres et le désir de Dieu from 1957 it has been generally accepted in medieval research in history of theology to draw a clear distinction between the theology written by monks and the theology written by clerics and teachers “in the world”. The panel seeks to challenge this otherwise well documented analysis of the theological landscape of the 12th century. Susan M. B. Steuer
