Anselm of Canterbury is a central figure in the way in which western, Latin, Christianity configured the fundamental relationship between God and humanity, what we might term the economy of salvation, in the High Middle Ages, from about 1070 to about 1330. A Benedictine monk, Anselm was born in the Alpine town of Aosta, in 1033, and moved through France during his late teenage years, arriving at the monastery of Bec in Normandy in about 1059. 

Dr. G.E.M. Gasper discuss how Archbishop Anselm thought about economy of Salvation.
