Thomas Aquinas, Theologian

Autor Thomas F. O′meara O.p.
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 feb 1997
This text considers Aquinas the theologian, his profession as a teacher and preacher, his influence past and present, and theology as the subject of his thought and most of his writings. It examines the "Summa theologiae" in terms of its purpose and multiple structures. The centre piece of this volume is a tour through the themes of Christianity, as presented in the Summa, themes which range from Triune divine being, to the graced person as the image of God, and a member of the body of Christ, to the life beyond death. The perspective shifts between present and past, and O'Meara complements his study with an overview of six centuries of interpretation of Thomas's theology, revealing how through the centuries - various schools and disciples of Thomas have advocated his thought - but few have understood the structure and intent of his theology. It provides a contemporary exposition of Aquinas theology set against a backdrop of insight that reveals how it mirrored the creative directions of his personality and the times in which he lived, as well as the cultural and scientific forms and insights available to him. The author also discusses how some of Thomas's themes can contribute to theology in contemporary times, such as in psychology, art, and a theology of world religions.

Recenzii

“O’Meara’s volume is a fine introduction to Aquinas as a theologian, both in his immediate medieval context and in the later contexts of the medieval scholastic tradition and the Thomism of more recent centuries. . . . Very useful to the modern reader is O’Meara’s presentation of the several schools of interpretation of Thomas in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.” —Calvin Theological Journal
 

 
“[Thomas O’Meara] sanguinely includes in a single volume a brief biography of Thomas, an overview of the structure and themes of the Summa theologiae, and a survey of nearly seven centuries of Thomisms. . . . O’Meara’s love of his subject is patent and will no doubt entice his more curious readers to discover for themselves the tremendous challenge of, as one twentieth-century Thomist has put it, ‘reaching up to the mind of Aquinas.’” —Theology Today

 

“Father O’Meara has been studying St. Thomas’ life and works for many years. His guide to Thomas’ theology, his world, and his influence traces the life and career of St. Thomas, including the context of his chief works; describes the background and internal structure of his Summa theologiae; elucidates the main themes of his theology; and summarizes the history of his influence—including his chief interpreters, the Thomistic schools—and the new interest in his work today.” —Theology Digest
