Best Answer

There are several defensible answers to such a question.

Why not begin by researching Thomas Aquinas - then, when you understand why Thomas was important (he adapted Aristotelian analytic philosophy to harmonise with Biblical studies) compare his work with that of (say) Duns Scotus Erigena, Roger Bacon, Bernard of Clervaux, and Peter Abelard.

Personally I feel Abelard is much undervalued - but in order to see why Abelard is necessary you have to understand what was wrong with Aquinas.
