| Summary: | The seemingly abstruse question of the filioque continues to divide the Christian churches. Much as opposition to it was consolidated and given intellectual justification by Photius, reasoned support for it was provided, in various ways, by the theologians of Western scholasticism. After a brief introduction to the filioque in Western theologians up to Augustine, Ngien considers four key scholastic thinkers: Anselm, Richard of St Victor, Aquinas, and Bonaventure. On the analysis proposed by Ngien, Anselm and Richard of St Victor provide two alternative approaches to the issue, and are followed respectively by Aquinas and Bonaventure, thus leading to distinct Dominican and Franciscan approaches to the question in the Middle Ages. |
