N2  - Recent scholars from numerous disciples have promoted an intriguing yet undocumented thesis, that the doctrine of the Incarnation had an inordinate influence on the shape of Western culture. This study offers the necessary evidence, documenting whether, when, by whom, and how the doctrine acted as an intellectual catalyst in the formation of Western culture during the Middle Ages
