Saint Anselm of Canterbury was a philosopher, theologian, and Archbishop in the 11th century, known for his deep intellect and defense of faith through reason. Born in Aosta, Italy, he joined the Benedictine monastery at Bec in Normandy and later became a key figure in the English Church. He developed the famous ontological argument for God’s existence and wrote influential works like Proslogion and Cur Deus Homo. Anselm believed that faith leads to understanding—Credo ut intelligam. He is remembered as a Doctor of the Church and patron saint of philosophers and theologians.

The phrase "Credo ut intelligam" means:

“I believe so that I may understand.”

It’s a famous quote from Saint Anselm of Canterbury, expressing the idea that faith comes first, and through that faith, deeper understanding and knowledge follow. It reflects the medieval Christian belief that spiritual insight begins with trust in God, not just intellectual reasoning.
