I'm surprised St. Augustine wasn't up there as a choice.

Personally, I haven't studied enough to really ascribe to a certain school of theology, nor do I think that there is necessarily as large of a difference between them as many people think. At the moment, if I were forced to choose, I'd probably go with St. Augustine.

I would have included St. Augustine, but I wanted stick with mediaeval theologians. And I would have included St. Anselm, but I forgot. I was thinking about including Palamas, but then I decided not to since his views are at odds with the teachings of the Church.

His views are at odds with the Latin church only, as was explained to you on other threads.

Fair enough. Although, I would almost argue that St. Augustine is perhaps the very beginning of the medieval theologians. But, that's certainly personal opinion on my part.

Yeah I've always thought of him as being very patristic, but I guess you could see him that way.

I most closely follow the theology of the Cappadocian Fathers, St. Maximos the Confessor, St. John Damascene, and St. Gregory Palamas.
