| Summary: | In the past Thomas Aquinas was noted for his use of ancient philosophy, Plato and, particularly, Aristotle. More recently, scholars have come to recognize Aquinas’s theological appreciation of Sacred Scripture not only within his scriptural commentaries, but also within his strictly theological works. However, while there has been an awareness that he was greatly indebted to Augustine and the Latin Fathers, little attention had been given to Aquinas’s knowledge of the Greek Fathers. Yes, scholars knew that he was the first to quote directly from some of the early councils and referenced some of the Eastern Fathers, yet few valued the impact these made on Aquinas’s theological thought. This present volume, the result of a conference sponsored by the Aquinas Center for Theological Renewal at Ave Maria University and the Thomistic Institute of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies, has admirably helped rectify this scholarly omission. |
