SCHOLASTICISM

DEFINITION

The attempt to rationalize in order to buttress faith by reason. This is

the term given to the great Roman Catholic thinkers of around the 13th

century, the greatest of which was St. Thomas Aquinas. In scholasticism,

theology was treated from a philosophical rather than a Biblical point of

view. The data of revelation was organized systematically, using

Aristotlian deductive logic; Biblical truth was harmonized with the newly

discovered philosophy of Aristotle.
