Exploring Thomas Aquinas: Essays and Sermons - Softcover

Here, writings by students and scholars of Thomas Aquinas' theology offer a panoply of insights. Theologians from recent decades (M.-D. Chenu, O.P.; Yves Congar, O.P.; Jean-Pierre Torrell, O.P.; C.J. Pinto de Olivera, O.P.; Walter Principe, C.S.B.; Edward Schillebeeckx, O.P.; and Karl Rahner, S.J.) look at central themes like the human person, divine presence, cultural history, Christianity and the world religions, and the church and the papacy. Religious thinking from the past illumines contemporary problems, questions, and ways of thinking.
