Mathematical Theologies: Nicholas of Cusa and the Legacy of Thierry of Chartres - Oxford Studies in Historical Theology
Albertson, David (Assistant Professor of Religion, Assistant Professor of Religion, University of Southern California)
This book uncovers the lost history of Christianity's encounters with Pythagorean ideas before the Renaissance. David Albertson skillfully examines ancient and medieval theologians, particularly Thierry of Chartres and Nicholas of Cusa, who successfully reconceived the Trinity and the Incarnation within the framework of Greek number theory. David Albertson challenges modern assumptions about the complex relationship between religion and science.
