Description
The Oxford Handbook of the Reception of Aquinas provides a comprehensive survey of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant philosophical and theological reception of Thomas Aquinas over the past 750 years.This Handbook will serve as a necessary primer for everyone who wishes to study Aquinas's thought and/or the history of theology and philosophy since Aquinas's day. Part I considers the late-medieval receptions of Aquinas among Catholics and Orthodox. Part II examines sixteenth-century Western receptions of Aquinas (Protestant and Catholic), followed by a chapter on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Orthodox reception. Part III discusses seventeenth-century Protestant and Catholic receptions, and Part IV surveys eighteenth- and nineteenth-century receptions (Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic). Part V focuses on the twentieth century and takes into account the diversity of theological movements in the past century as well as extensive philosophical treatment. The final section unpicks contemporary systematic approaches to Aquinas, covering the main philosophical and theological themes for which he is best known. With chapters written by a wide range of experts in their respective fields, this volume provides a valuable touchstone regarding the developments that have marked the past seven centuries of Christian theology.
Reviews / Votes
The hardback presentation by Oxford University Press is attractive, the format and typesetting clear and consistent, and the general editorial details professionally executed, making the volume as a whole both readable and enjoyable. This handbook will appeal not only to the growing audience of those interested in the study of Aquinas and the extensive tradition of his reception, whether Catholic, Christian, or secular, but also to all those interested in the broad range of theological and philosophical problems upon which the thought of Aquinas has been brought to bear throughout the course of the second millennium and beyond. * Robert McNamara, Journal of Jesuit Studies * The Handbook of the Reception of Aquinas can just in itself be taken to speak a theological word. The practical lesson of the Handbook is easier to state. Depending on one's intellectual commitments, it can serve as an occasion for an examination of conscience. * Guy Mansini, The Thomist * This is truly a remarkable accomplishment in the history of Aquinas studies. Again, as noted in the beginning, the arguments and narratives in this book superbly elucidate the scope of Aquinas's influence upon the Christian church as a whole, and in this regard it has built a solid foundation for future research into the so-called "ecumenical Thomism." Whatever fruits this book will bear, however, it has to be noted at this point in time that its publication is a landmark for historical theologians and philosophical theologians alike, and this is a significant milestone especially for those who appreciate the rich history of scholastic theology, because in this work they can find Aquinas's many friends and foes who altogether formed a distinct but vital tradition of faith. * Seung-Joo Lee, Church History and Religious Culture * This volume is an astonishing achievement...I have never before read a handbook from cover to cover. I did with this one, and it was a joy, as it will be for anyone whose thought has been nurtured by Friar Thomas of Aquino. * The Revd Dr Andrew Davison, Church Times * This volume succeeds in its goal of tracing the Angelic Doctor's reception from the medieval period down through the present. May this work inspire a new generation of theologians and Bible scholars to thoughtfully receive Aquinas in their own day. * The Reverend David M. Svihel, Reading Religion *More details
