Boyd Taylor Coolman is Associate Professor of Theology at Boston College. His research interests are in the history of Christian theology, particularly in the medieval period. He is especially interested in the life and thought of the Victorines in the first half of the twelfth century and in developments in early thirteenth-century scholastic theology at the Universities of Paris and Oxford. His publications include The Theology of Hugh of St. Victor: An Interpretation (Cambridge University Press, 2010) and Knowing God by Experience: The Spiritual Senses in the Theology of William of Auxerre (Catholic University of America, 2016).

Analytically, Coolman's assessment of Gallus is clear, well written, and engaging, though highly technical, and would likely be a resource for graduate students and professors of theology and philosophy... In sum, this book is highly recommended for both historical and systematic theologians, as well as those interested in medieval Neoplatonic philosophy.
