Anselm is probably the greatest theologian who lived during the time between Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas.

He didn't work well with kings and, at one point, he had most of the English leaders against him.

B. B. Warfield lived at a time when many people—even those who considered themselves Christians—were questioning the authority of God's Word. For centuries most people in Europe and North America had taken for granted that the Bible was the word of God, but in Warfield's lifetime they were wondering whether it could still be trusted. Warfield was confident that the Bible could be trusted, and as a professor of theology at Princeton Seminary, he devoted his life to teaching and writing about its authority and other important issues of theology.
