Daniel Deme is Lecturer in Systematic and Historical Theology at Roehampton University, UK
'This book makes available to a wide readership a body of fascinating twelfth-century theological speculation, for which Daniel Deme is an able and enthusiastic advocate.' John Marenbon, Trinity College, Cambridge 'Isaac of Stella is one of the most significant of the Cistercian fathers who work in the shadow of Bernard. Given the interest in medieval theology and philosophy at the present time, and the consuming interest in all things relating to 'spirituality', Isaac and his fellows are due for more attention and there is scarcely anything else on Isaac in English available. This book will be a major aid for those working on the theology and philosophy of the twelfth century and for those interested in the history of the religious life.'
