Summary:
Story of the radical theologian Peter Abelard with dramatizations. Born near Nantes, France, in 1079, Abelard's teaching on the Trinity was declared heretical. He founded the monastic school known as Paraclete, became the abbot of St. Gildas-de-Rhuys, and later, at Cluny, lived a model life of asceticism and theological labor. Despite this, he was accused of heresy by the Council of Sens, and later died on his way to trial in Rome.
