    Book description

    This new Companion to Aquinas features entirely new chapters written by internationally recognized experts in the field. It shows the power of Aquinas's philosophical thought and transmits the worldview which he inherited, developed, altered, and argued for, while at the same time revealing to contemporary philosophers the strong connections which there are between Aquinas's interests and views and their own. Its five sections cover the life and works of Aquinas; his metaphysics, including his understanding of the ultimate foundations of reality; his metaethics and ethics, including his virtue ethics; his account of human nature; his theory of the afterlife; his epistemology and his theory of the intellectual virtues; his view of the nature of free will and the relation of grace to free will; and finally some key components of his philosophical theology, including the incarnation and atonement, Christology, and the nature of original sin.

    Reviews

    ‘This volume is a convincing testament to the enduring consequence of Aquinas’s philosophical insights, and it will be an essential resource for students and teachers of St Thomas.’

    Austin Stevenson Source: The Heythrop Journal

    ‘Whether or not modern readers approve of medieval theology and philosophy, we ought to appreciate its depth. Aquinas asked questions that modern theologians often overlook. Whether or not we believe he got everything right, his wide-ranging attempt to develop a philosophical metaphysic, epistemology, and ethic - harmonizing reasoning from nature with faith in revelation - is breathtaking in its scope. This volume can help students and scholars grapple with his medieval world more fully, leading them to reflect more deeply on who God is, who they are in relation to God, what the world is like and why, and where everything is headed.’

    Ryan M. McGraw Source: Puritan Reformed Journal
