The harvest of medieval theology

by Heiko Oberman

"Oberman explains the theology and philosophy of late medieval nominalism through a detailed analysis of the writings of Gabriel Biel, the famous German disciple of William Ockham. The book discusses all the themes of Biel's thought: the dialectic of the two powers of God, grace, predestination, justification, Christology, Mariology, eucharist, and mysticism. Because Biel is believed to have had a profound influence on the young Martin Luther, Oberman's book is as important for Reformation scholars as it is for medievalists."--Jacket.
