Boyd Taylor Coolman is associate professor of theology at Boston College.

This first-rate study will be of greatest interest to scholars in medieval theology, philosophy, and spirituality. Its usefulness will be enhanced by a more-than-introductory knowledge of medieval thought."" - P.L. Urban Jr., Choice""An excellent work, both breaking new ground and contributing to the ongoing scholarly debate. Its great innovation comes in shedding light on the theology of William of Auxerre, much talked about but rarely investigated, almost never with this subtlety and in such detail."" - Steven P. Marrone, Tufts University""[Coolman's] excellent, close reading of William's Summa aurea augments our sense of this early Scholastic era in connection to its past as well as its future. This book is an essential contribution to the medieval studies and theology section of any research library."" - Kevin Hughes, The Thomist""[An] exquisitely crafted book. The writing is clear and graceful throughout, and the book itself is beautifully rendered by CUA Press. From the perspective of both content and the pleasure of reading, this one is not to be missed by anyone with a love for medieval theology."" - Joan Nuth, Theological Studies""[A] fine study... a useful and important contribution and counterbalance to the already existing studies."" - David N. Bell, Speculum""Coolman's study is an exemplary contribution not only to the study of William and his doctrine of the spiritual senses but also to that critical era of scholasticism that preceded the likes of Albert, Aquinas, and Bonaventure. This engaging book, clearly and concisely composed, makes a largely neglected medieval theologian and his doctrine on knowing God through the spiritual senses readily accessible to graduate students and scholars alike."" - Keith J.
