Anselm: Fides Quaerens Intellectum by Karl Barth

Karl Barth’s study Anselm: Fides Quaerens Intellectum argues that Saint Anselm's famous ontological argument is a theological exercise rooted in faith and prayer rather than a secular philosophical proof. Barth emphasizes that faith precedes understanding and that Anselm's definition of God as "that than which nothing greater can be conceived" operates as a divine name rather than a starting point for independent human reason.
