Engaging with Thomas Aquinas (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

On the occasion of the 8th centenary of Thomas Aquinas, the book is a thoughtful introduction aimed at presenting the main contours of his complex legacy and critically evaluating it especially in areas where the "Roman Catholic" Thomas is more than the "classical" theologian who is attracting renewed attention in evangelical circles.

The influence of Thomas Aquinas on Western theology is beyond dispute, but his is a contested legacy.
In current evangelical studies there is an emerging infatuation with Thomas, especially as far as his theological metaphysics is concerned.

De Chirico offers the perplexed evangelical a framework to think through. The inquiring Roman Catholic reader will be invited to consider an alternative. The general reader may find answers to questions such as:

- Are Thomas and Thomism(s) the same?
- What does evangelical thought need to be aware about the strengths and dangers of Thomas Aquinas?
- How can Rome's chief doctor be at the same time a reference point for evangelical theology?

The book will address this whole debate by contributing a thoughtful analysis from an evangelical viewpoint.
