[ SOLD OUT ] ALBERTSON, D., Mathematical Theologies. Nicholas of Cusa and the Legacy of Thierry of Chartres. Oxford University Press, 2014. 512p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Historical Theology. This is the most insightful and learned monograph on Nicholas of Cusa to appear in the last decade. Cusanus scholars will have to grapple with his new reading of the Chartrian lines of influence, including his brilliant insight into Nicholas's alleged forgery. Even more exciting is the new sketch for the pre-history of today's debates about science and theology. Are the intellectual presuppositions of our spiritual a-cosmism only to be found within the age of Galileo or can the ancient and medieval synthesis of arithmetic and Incarnation still speak to us? Albertson adds considerable depth and light to that pressing discussion. Peter Casarella, University of Notre Dame and President, American Cusanus Society (Publisher's information).
