Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the history of Christianity through the lens of theological conflicts that have shaped the Church. Charles Williams presents a unique perspective, emphasizing how moments of crisis often led to the emergence of figures who reconciled opposing views, preserving unity. He identifies a continuous tension between apophatic and cataphatic theology, exemplified by St. John of the Cross and St. Bonaventure. Rather than viewing these conflicts as detrimental, Williams argues they are essential for the Church's growth and vitality, highlighting their complementary nature.
