Scholasticism 


Scholasticism was especially important in two areas: the development of the science of logic and the analysis of the relationships between faith and reason, grace and nature, theology and philosophy. The schools differed in their analyses, but all shared a common conviction that the relationship of human beings to God needed systematic analysis. Among the Scholastics, Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure have been the most important for the development of subsequent theology.
