John C. Wei is a law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
"Lucidly written, extensively documented, and masterfully argued, Gratian the Theologian is an impressive work of scholarship that draws upon a wide-ranging, yet intimate knowledge of the relevant legal and theological sources to illuminate and contextualize the theological elements in Gratian's thought and, at the same time, to contribute substantively to the ongoing discussion of the textual history of the Decretum. Addressed to specialists and advanced students, this book belongs on the shelves of all academic libraries supporting programs in canon law, theology, and medieval history."--Thomas M. Dousa, Catholic Library World "The granular detail Wei provides should complement and stretch recent scholarship on Gratian and the Drecretalists a laudable contribution to the history of canon law and its deputed founder."--Patrick Hayes, Catholic Books Review "Wei is a master of the sources and does a superb job not only of reviewing Gratian's own sources, both theological and canonical, but also of distinguishing different emphases of the first and second recensionThis book admirably advances the study of both mediaeval law and mediaeval theology."--W Becket Soule OP, Pontifical College Josephinum, Columbus, Ohio, Ecclesiastical Law Journal
