The Institute for Saint Anselm Studies is an academic research center conducted by Saint Anselm College and established to promote and encourage the study of the life, thought, and spirituality of Saint Anselm of Canterbury, the patron of the College. By means of its resources, facilities, and programs, the Institute offers to the College's faculty and students and to the larger scholarly community the opportunity and means to bring Saint Anselm into living contact with the culture of the twenty-first century.
While the philosophical, theological, and ecclesiological accomplishments of Saint Anselm have historical value that the Institute seeks to explore and articulate, it is a further goal of the Institute to uncover their perennial value for the nourishing of Christian wisdom, the stimulating of reflection on critical issues, and the deepening of personal spirituality.
