Credo ut intelligam (alternatively spelled Credo ut intellegam) is Latin for "I believe so that I may understand" and is a maxim of Anselm of Canterbury, which is based on a saying of Augustine of Hippo (crede, ut intelligas, "believe so that you may understand") to relate faith and reason. It is often accompanied by its corollary, intellego ut credam ("I think so that I may believe"), and by Anselm's other famous phrase fides quaerens intellectum ("faith seeking understanding").
