Book Description

December 28, 2005 0268043639 978-0268043636 1
"Readers will be grateful for this excellent comprehensive survey of Aquinas’ theology. It is a compendium in the best sense of the word, both introduction for beginners and a reliable source of information for advanced scholars. Even experts in Thomist thought will highly appreciate the great number of original and stimulating essays which provide new views and interpretations of seemingly well known texts." —Ulrich Horst, O.P., Ludwig Maximilian University

This is an in-depth study of every major aspect of Thomas Aquinas’ theology. Contributors offer fresh and compelling readings of Aquinas on the Trinity, creation theology, theory of analogy, anthropology, predestination and human freedom, evil and original sin, Christology and grace, soteriology, eschatology, sacramentology, ecclesiology, moral theology, the relation between theology and philosophy, and scriptural exegesis.

Contributors to The Theology of Thomas Aquinas come from seven different countries and a variety of specialties within the discipline of theology. Their diverse perspectives add considerable merit to the depth and breadth of this project. Contributors both outline the thought of Aquinas in its own right and bring it into dialogue with present theological concerns. The high quality of these essays make this volume an invaluable reference tool.

This book will establish itself as the best scholarly introduction to the theology of Thomas Aquinas. It belongs on the bookshelf of every theologian and Thomistic scholar. It will be read with appreciation by students and scholars alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thematic introduction, January 23, 2010

This review is from: The Theology Of Thomas Aquinas (Hardcover)
I found this an excellent and enlightening overview of the many facets of Aquinas's theological thought. It's thematic structure made understanding much more accessible. There were many explanations that opened my mind to ways of looking at the Christian faith that I had not considered in depth before, from the analysis of the trinity to the unity of narrative between creation, incarnation, and eschatology. For anyone interested in investigating Aquinas's theology, this would be a good place to start. Understand, it is not written for the laymen, rather for students of theology. But, I found that my patience and commitment were well rewarded.
