| Summary: | The thinking of the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas is still very much alive, not only in the Roman Catholic Church but also among Protestants. This article highlights the excellent recent Oxford handbook which mines Thomas’ legacy and shows that the reception of Aquinas’ thought is a complex and multifaceted process, with conflicts of interpretation and seasons of influence. Special attention is paid here to Thomas’ influence on Martin Luther, Jerome Zanchi, Johann Georg Dorsche, Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck. We conclude that Thomas and his reception are important interlocutors for evangelicals as well. |
