The Theology of Thomas Aquinas

Rik Van Nieuwenhove

Description

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, and it will be read with appreciation by students and scholars alike.

Bologna, Museo Civico, Corale(formerly), fol. 75r. The folio shows the office for the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas and probably dates to the years just after his canonization in. The unusual inclusion of Dominican nuns as eager students of the saint, and the roundel depicting the Apparition of Christ to the Maries, suggest that this choirbook was made for the women’s convent of St. Agnes in Bologna. In the folio Thomas is represented as a teacher to all members of the Church, both clerical and lay. The illumination has been attributed to a Bolognese artist known as the Second Master of San Domenico, who participated in the decoration of several manuscripts produced for Dominicans.

Acknowledgments

The essay by David B. Burrell, “Analogy, Creation, and Theological Language,” has appeared in slightly different form inAmerican Catholic Philosophical Association Proceedings,vol.(): ‒ , and is printed here with the permission of the editor.

The essay by Gilles Emery, “Trinity and Creation,” was translated from the French by Patrick I. Martin.

The essay by Thomas Prügl, “Thomas Aquinas as Interpreter of Scrip- ture,” was translated from the German by Albert K. Wimmer.

Publication of a full-color dust jacket was made possible by a grant from the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, College of Arts and Letters, University of Notre Dame.

The editors have benefitted from their dealings with the capable staff of the University of Notre Dame Press. Two people in particular are deserving of our profound thanks: JeffGainey, former Associate Direc- tor of the Press, for his interest and enthusiasm from the outset of the project; and Rebecca DeBoer, for her diligent, patient, and unfailingly intelligent copyediting.

Finally, the book is dedicated to our wives, Rose Cunningham and Dianne Phillips; their encouragement and commitment are a constant source of strength.
