Early Franciscan Theology: Robert Grosseteste, Roger Bacon and the Summa Halensis

Crozier, William

Abstract

Early Franciscan theology exerted an important influence but remains insufficiently known. This chapter treats of English theologians Robert Grosseteste and Roger Bacon, and the work attributed to Alexander of Hales and his circle, the Summa Halensis. It discusses topics such as the Trinity, salvation and the nature of theological science.
