Cur Deus Homo: Or Why God Was Made Man (1858)

Cur Deus Homo, or Why God Was Made Man, is a theological treatise written by St. Anselm in 1858. The book explores the question of why God became human, and what the purpose of this act was. St. Anselm argues that God became human in order to save humanity from sin and death, and to restore the relationship between God and humanity that was broken by the Fall. The book also explores the nature of sin and the importance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. St. Anselm's arguments are based on reason and logic, and he uses analogies and examples to illustrate his points. The book is considered a classic of medieval theology and has had a significant influence on Christian thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
