Description: Justo establishes a rather well based description of Medieval Christian theology and philosophy. He explains Augustine and the other fathers of the Church in a scholarly objective sense. He does not hide from Christian controversies, but addresses them in a manner that simplifies the matter for even the casual reader. This is certainly worth reading for those who are casually interested in Church history, but who are not scholars.

Review Summary: A good, not great introduction. . .less helpful than vol. 1 Date: 2000-08-11
 
Details: This is the second volume to Gonzalez' "History of Christian Thought". Like the first, it is a good resource for college undergraduates and the informed layman. It is not a good choice for graduate level or seminary studies.

I was a little disappointed in this volume. It covers a time period almost twice as long as the first volume, but is of the same length. Thus, important material is covered in lesser depth than might be desired, especially considering the great theologians of this time: Augustine, Abelard, Bernard, Bonaventure, Scotus, and especially Aquinas.

A decent, but not great, secondary source.
