| 520 | |a The contribution of St Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) to Western theology is inconceivable apart from his understanding of faith, reason, and the famous Five Ways of demonstrating the existence of God. Although the influence of Leonine Thomism took a downward spiral around the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962-5), many commentators have noticed that another revival of Thomism seems to be under way in the Catholic Church, mostly because of the towering influence of Pope St John Paul II (see, e.g., his encyclical letter, Fides et Ratio). Amid the contemporary surge of scholarly publications and lay interest in Aquinas, no one has entertained the Five Ways in a single volume as much as Michael Augros in Aquinas on Theology and God’s Existence. A powerful, illuminating, and thorough treatment of the first two questions of the Summa theologiae, Augros’s commentary deserves serious attention from theologians and Christian philosophers. This fine work should be consulted for many years to come as a definitive resource on Aquinas’s thought, especially with regard to faith, philosophy, and the proofs for God. The intention of the commentary is ‘primarily philosophical and pedagogical … Its explanations consist primarily of (i) definitions, distinctions, and concrete examples to clarify St. Thomas’s meaning, (ii) resolutions of commonly raised objections to his thought … and … (iii) the tracing of his philosophical premises back to first principles found elsewhere in his writings’ (pp. 5, 6). | ||
