Approaching
Richard of St. Victors works through the lense of an ascent
to God per visibilia ad invisibilia, the present work argues
that Richard develops a consistent theological methodology that
weds together an emerging academic theology with a contemplative
reading of texts. This methodology begins with an attempt to
understand the visible world through the medium of words, created
things, and their orderly relation both in text and in creation.
Coulter next discusses how Richards investigation of the
invisible world of the self, the angels, and the divine builds upon
his analysis of the visible world. No longer focusing on texts, at
this stage the contemplative mind must develop the appropriate
intellectual skills to penetrate the mysteries of the invisible
world, for which Richard offers the ark of the covenant as a
rhetorical symbol. The result is a method that leads the soul to a
vision of the divine per visibilia ad
invisibilia.
