Aquinas on Doctrine: A Critical Introduction

Information on Aquinas on Doctrine from the publisher:

This major new work provides a critical study of the main Christian doctrines as understood and explained by Thomas Aquinas. The Thomistic revival of the last century focused almost exclusively on Aquinas as the Christian philosopher and produced books and articles discussing issues such as his understanding of being, epistemology and natural theology. However, little has been done, even to this day, to examine Aquinas' teaching on the major Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, Incarnation, creation, salvation, sacraments, church and eschatology. This book of essays, authored by an international team of recognized Thomistic scholars, will greatly help to fill this gap. The essays will be beneficial not only for scholars but also for those wanting a clear introduction to the doctrinal thought of Thomas. As a result, it is destined to become indispensable to every theological library.

Description of Thomas G. Weinandy, author of Aquinas on Doctrine:

Aquinas on Doctrine provides a critical study of many important Christian doctrines in the thought of one of the great Doctors of the Church. Rather than focusing on the philosophy of Aquinas, as has been examined in recent Aquinas studies, this volume seeks to understand Aquinas first and foremost as a Christian theologian. In doing so, such topics as Scripture, creation, the Trinity, Christology, soteriology, the sacraments, ecclesiology, the sermon, mariology, and eschatology are examined by a fine cast of Thomistic scholars. The contributors include (among others) Thomas Weinandy, Aidan Nichols, Daniel Keating, and David Burrell. The essays will prove beneficial not only for Aquinas specialists, but also for those wanting a clear introduction to the doctrinal thought of Thomas.
