| Summary: | Since Herbert McCabe’s death in 2001, Brian Davies has been slowly publishing some of the papers left unpublished by McCabe. God and Evil in the Theology of Thomas Aquinas is McCabe’s 1957 thesis written to qualify for the Licence in Sacred Theology (STL). As such, it is perhaps more academic in tone and register than McCabe’s other works. But the voice is recognizably the same nevertheless: pithy, and with a way of putting things that often seems singularly insightful; and if it is sometimes over-confident, it is never strident. The last of the oeuvre to be published (though the first to be written), it is, basically, a trenchant defence of the views of Aquinas on the so-called ‘problem of evil’. |
