Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Fox, a controversial Dominican priest and author of Creation Spirituality ( LJ 5/1/91), offers this compendium of the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Through a series of four "conversations," he translates the context of Aquinas's spiritual theology into popular language. The dialogs center on the four paths within creation spirituality: Via Positiva (awe and wonderment), Via Negativa (silence and darkness), Via Creativa (imagination and creativity), and Via Transformativa (compassion). Fox uses the writings of Aquinas to provide a dialog that brings forth a positive guide to spiritual growth. Instead of the "fire and brimstone" approach to salvation, the reader is exposed to the path of cosmological spirituality. Recommended for large public and academic libraries.

Product Description
Here is a new edition of one of Matthew Fox's most powerful books, another in a series of the classic works by the maverick priest and theologian that are being reissued by Tarcher/Putnam.
Moving beyond the scholasticism and rationalism that have long cloaked Aquinas, Fox reveals a passionate, prophetic, and mystical celebrator of the blessings of creation. In this compelling, epic work, Fox writes as "a late twentieth-century citizen deeply concerned about the way our species is treating the Earth, our young, women, the poor, our bodies, and our souls." He speaks with St. Thomas Aquinas in a modern forum, questioning the saint about the Four Paths of creation spirituality, and the responses are culled from Aquinas's works, including pieces never before translated into English. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
