RE113 Assignment Two: Marsilius of Padua
This assignment was to choose a prominent Christian thinker and analyse “the theological concerns and attitudes and conclusions of the author surveyed, together with a brief consideration of these concerns … for people today.
I chose Marsilius of Padua.
The lecturer helpfully noted:
Marsilius [AD1275-1342], a radical critic of much of the teaching and institutional forms of the church of his day, and in many ways a herald for the secular, pluralist society of own day.
I probably picked him because he sounded a bit of a ratbag – my favourite sort of Christian thinker.
