Anselm:
Archbishop, Confessor, Saint
- Description
- Additional Information
There are times in history when kings grow proud and the Church must suffer. In such a time, Anselm of Canterbury was made Archbishop. He had not sought the burden, but he bore it without compromise. Born among the hard stones of Aosta, tempered in the cloister of Bec, he rose, unwilling but obedient, to meet the defiance of two Norman kings.
This is the story of a monk who loved truth more than peace and feared God more than princes. Wilmot-Buxton traces his life with a sure hand: the long years of prayer and study, the bitterness of exile, the bitterer weight of office, and the unshaken witness of a soul who would not part with the liberty of the Church for the favor of men.
Though written for young adults, this account does not soften the age it describes. It shows us Anselm not as a figure of piety alone, but as a confessor—a man raised up to guard what was sacred when the sacred was in peril.
