To speak of the methods of theology in the Middle Ages means to recognize the coexistence of pluriform methodological and epistemological postures in theology. In some cases this may be caused by the interests that generate them, in others the contexts of reflection and production, or the direct ties with socio-cultural events that feed them and make them diverse. Thus theological knowing from the point of view of its rationality and the way or ways in which it is elaborated and developed in its sphere of tradition and Christian thought supposes an appropriate location in the cultural medium that gave it life and of which it is, at the same time, its expression.
