The masterwork of Saint Anselm, Cur Deus Homo asks the essential
question of theology - "Why was God a Man?"" Written by Anselm in
the midst of his spiritual life and contemplation, Anselm attempts
to answer this question with a reasoned discussion of the Christian
canon. God's incarnation in the form of Jesus Christ is
investigated, with the Biblical sources examined and discussed at
length. The mission of Christ as a manifest teacher without sin,
and his birth in an ordinary village in Palestine, is closely
detailed by the studied Anselm. Saint Anselm eventually arrives at
the conclusion that while man is an imperfect and sinful being
without the ability to fully devote himself to God, God himself
possesses the essential power and ability to place himself among
and die for mankind in a bid for humanity to live for Him. It is
thus that Anselm arrives at the 'satisfaction theory of atonement'.
