<P>In <B>St. Anselm of Canterbury's</B> foundational theological work, <I>Why God Became Man</I> (<I>Cur Deus Homo</I>), delve into a profound and meticulously reasoned exploration of the <B>Incarnation</B> and <B>Atonement</B>. Written in the 11th century as a dialogue, Anselm addresses the fundamental question of <B>why God, being omnipotent, chose to redeem humanity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ</B>, rather than by a simple act of divine will. He masterfully articulates the <B>satisfaction theory of atonement</B>, arguing that humanity's sin incurred an infinite debt to God's honor, a debt only an infinite being—God Himself—could repay. This seminal text continues to be a cornerstone of Christian theology, offering timeless insights into the <B>nature of God, sin, justice, and salvation</B>. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of Christianity.</P>
