Description

The selections included in this anthology, drawn from a variety of Aquinas' works, focus on the roles of reason and faith in philosophy and theology. Expanding on these themes are Aquinas' discussions of nature and the domain of theology; the knowledge of God and of God's attributes attainable through natural reason; the life of God, including God's will, justice, mercy, and providence; and the principal Christian mysteries treated in theology properly speaking -- the Trinity and the Incarnation.

Reviews

Stephen Brown of Boston College has done an extremely useful service in providing this anthology of appropriate readings on Aquinas and his views on 'faith and reason.' The selections are intelligently chosen; the introduction to the book is excellent, especially the section locating Aquinas over against Augustine.--Ian Markham, Theological Book Review
