Question: What two fields of study were called the "Queen of the Sciences" during the middle ages!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Theology and Philosophy:
In the Middle Age theology was the most highly esteemed subject of study, so much so that it was called the "queen of the sciences!." Next in honor came philosophy, and then law!.

The Middle Age was rich in works of theology and philosophy!. Peter Abelard's "Sic et Non" ("Yes and No") shocked many earnest Christians!. Peter Lombard's "Sentences" (published about 1145) proposed answers to Abelard's questions and summed up the Church doctrines on the sacraments!. Averroes (1126-1198), a Moslem, wrote extensively on Aristotle!. Thomas Aquinas, a devout Christian scholar, in his writings endeavored to quiet some fears that Averroes had raised, and to show that religion and philosophy could be reconciled!. Thomas Aquinas' most important work, the "Summa Theologiae," was the greatest intellectual achievement of the Middle Age!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
