Provides a detailed and authoritative analysis of the infamous filioque ('and the Son') clause added to the Nicene Creed and how four major medieval theologians defended it. The original Nicene Creed (381 AD) said that the Holy Spirit 'proceeds from the Father' and the Eastern Orthodox churches follow that wording to this day. However, in the West the growing tradition was to think of the Spirit as 'proceeding from the Father and the Son' (Latin: filioque) and eventually in 589 AD the ecumenical creed of Nicea was modified by the Catholic Church to include the word 'filioque' ('and the Son'). This controversial move was the sole doctrinal cause of the Great Schism that divided the Orthodox and Catholic Churches (1054 AD) and it remains a dividing issue with the Christian Church to this day. This study examines the defence of the filioque clause in four of the leading medieval theologians in the Catholic Church seeking to show why it mattered so much to them: - Anselm (1033-1109) - Thomas Aquinas (1224-1275) - Richard St Victor (d. 1173) - Bonaventure (1217-1274) - an initial chapter providing the historical background to the debate about the filioque - an introduction to the general Trinitarian theology of each influential thinker - a detailed study of the reasoning behind their support for the filioque clause - Award winning scholar. - Scholarly study of an important aspect of Trinitarian theology. - Crucial for understanding a major historic cause of division within the Church.
