Medieval Theology refers to the study of religious beliefs and practices during the Middle Ages, roughly from the 5th to the 15th century. This period saw the rise of influential thinkers like St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, who sought to reconcile faith with reason. Their works laid the foundation for much of Christian thought and addressed questions about the nature of God, morality, and the human soul. Theology during this time was heavily influenced by Scholasticism, a method that emphasized critical analysis and debate. Medieval theologians often engaged with ancient texts, including those of Aristotle, to develop a systematic understanding of Christian doctrine and to address contemporary philosophical challenges.
