The stereotype about the Scholastics is that they were engaged in Theological Gymnastics (Do Angels have navels? Are lobsters immortal?) as opposed to actual worship.

The lesser-known scholastics often tangled themselves in minutiae, but the best - Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure and Duns Scotus - were focused and on point.

Their writings have greatly enhanced my prayer.

Thanks for the info. Way cool!

Anselm would be the founder of Scholasticism right? Of course there is Johannes Scotus Eriugena who predated it by a few centuries.

Are lobsters immortal? Aside from being eaten?
