In this innovative book, Gloria Frost reconstructs and analyses Aquinas's theories on efficient causation and causal powers, focusing specifically on natural causal powers and efficient causation in nature. Frost presents each element of Aquinas's theories one by one, comparing them with other theories, as well as examining the philosophical and interpretive ambiguities in Aquinas's thought and proposing fresh solutions to conceptual difficulties. Her discussion includes explanations of Aquinas's technical scholastic terminology in jargon-free prose, as well as background on medieval scientific views - including ordinary language explanations of the medieval physical theories which Aquinas assumed in formulating his views on causation and causal powers. The resulting volume is a rich exploration of a central philosophical topic in medieval philosophy and beyond, and will be valuable especially for scholars and advanced students working on Aquinas and on medieval natural philosophy.

"The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas, edited by Eleonore Stump and her friend and former teacher Norman Kretzmann (1998), appeared almost thirty years ago. In the time since the publication of that volume, an enormous amount of research on Aquinas's thought has appeared. The time is right, then, for a redoing of that Companion volume. But because so much time has elapsed since the first Companion volume appeared, it was not feasible just to revise it and reissue it as a second edition. Instead, it was necessary to start over completely. With the exception of Eleonore Stump, all the contributors to The New Cambridge Companion to Aquinas are new and have written original papers for this volume; and even Stump's paper in the first Companion volume has been replaced by an entirely fresh essay"--

In the prologue to his commentary on the Fourth Gospel, St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274) states that while the other Gospels predominantly discuss the humanity of Christ, St. John the Evangelist focuses on the divinity of Christ. In the commentary itself, Thomas uses the divisio textus to structure the text, a technique that his contemporaries like St. Albert the Great and St. Bonaventure used as well. This study shows the divisio textus to be both a didactical tool that helps students get a grip on the Gospel text and a hermeneutical tool that gives essential insight into Thomas's interpretation of the Gospel. It shows that for Thomas, John 1 is the Gospel in a nutshell and that in his interpretation, what the Evangelist has to say about the divinity of the Word in Jn 1 is developed in the rest of the Gospel. The divisio textus is shown to be an indispensable tool for understanding Thomas's commentary on John, and Thomas's trinitarian interpretation of the Fourth Gospel is demonstrated to be based on a profound theology of the Word of God.

Qu'est-ce que Thomas d'Aquin a voulu faire en métaphysique ? S'il est désormais établi que sa doctrine refuse la primauté des concepts sur les choses (laquelle caractérise l'ontothéologie), la question reste posée d'une autonomie chez lui de la métaphysique par rapport à la théologie, donc de sa constitution et de sa fonction. Sa métaphysique est-elle intégrée ou bien séparée ? Dans les deux cas et pour des motifs inverses, Dieu a du mal y trouver sa juste place. Thomas, après Albert, se fraie un chemin entre une métaphysique intégrée, à la façon du courant augustinien auquel il continue d'appartenir, et une métaphysique séparée, celle de la Faculté des Arts, attirée dans l'orbite d'une réception d'Aristote conférant à la philosophie une indépendance à la fois rationnelle et institutionnelle, contre l'empire de la Faculté de théologie. Or c'est cette métaphysique séparée, qui malgré ses mésaventures (la condamnation de 1277), va vivre plusieurs renaissances. Elle donne lieu à trop d'incarnations et de commentaires, lesquelles donnent à croire que Thomas a écrit une métaphysique sans influence du christianisme, ni interactions elles-mêmes rationnelles, avec lui. Ce modèle, en fait moderne d'inspiration (et qui au XVIIe siècle calviniste va s'appeler ontologie, pour contrer la métaphysique), va refluer sur Thomas. Il fallait tout reprendre, oeuvres, concepts, thèses célèbres, et les évaluer, du double point de vue médiéviste et contemporain. Jusqu'à découvrir chez Thomas d'Aquin trois modalités de la métaphysique, qui sont autant d'articulations entre raison et foi. Ces trois modalités font miroiter toutes ses interventions et en dénouent les apparentes apories.

"Dass Thomas von Aquin (1225-1274) in der Frage der Unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariens eine makulistische Position vertrat, während das kirchliche Lehramt im Lauf der Jahrhunderte immer mehr zur immakulistischen Haltung tendierte - eine Entwicklung, die nach langem Ringen im Dogma von 1854 gipfelte -, stellte die Thomisten aller Jahrhunderte vor Probleme. Gerade als etwa zeitgleich zum Dogma der Thomismus erneut aufzublühen begann und sich Papst Leo XIII. im Jahr 1879 mit seiner Thomasenzyklika „Aeterni patris" anschickte, den Thomismus auch mit lehramtlicher Autorität endgültig auf den Schild zu heben, verschärfte sich für die Thomisten die Problematik: Hat Thomas tatsächlich ein formales Dogma der Kirche nicht gelehrt oder sogar abgelehnt? Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit mehreren Harmonisierungsversuchen seitens thomistischer Theologen des 19. Jahrhunderts."

This book argues that Christian ethics urgently needs the category of tragic dilemmas. The author argues for a definition of tragic dilemmas that responds to philosophical concerns in a Christian context, using insights from the Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions, and in light of psychological evidence of moral injury after combat. Jackson-Meyer suggests that in a tragic dilemma an agent deliberates on, with sufficient knowledge, an issue that involves non-negotiable moral requirements in line with Christian obligations to protect human life and the vulnerable. The agent is morally responsible for the harm caused and/or the obligation not acted upon. However, culpability is mitigated due to the constraints of the situation as long as the agent acts with, what Aquinas calls, "repugnance of the will." Tragic dilemmas are often the result of sin, a reality to which the Augustinian tradition is keenly attuned. When involvement in a tragic dilemma produces emotional harm, this has the power to undermine character because passions and the moral life are inextricably related. In turn, the agent's life is marred. In light of this harm, it is incumbent on Christian communities to offer opportunities for moral healing after tragic dilemmas.

Providing an alternative to current Trinitarian and Christocentric approaches to dogmatics, this open access book instead centres the Augustinian and classical Reformation Law-Gospel distinction. Maarten Wisse demonstrates the viability of dogmatics based on the Law-Gospel distinction from both a historical and a systematic-theological perspective. From a historical perspective, Wisse shows that the actual use of Scripture should be understood as the interplay between a critical concern about the difference between God and the world on the one hand, and the witness to God's presence in Christ in the world on the other. From a systematic-theological perspective, the benefits of approaching dogmatics through the dynamics between Law and Gospel is exemplified by discussions of key dogmatic topics, such as the doctrine of Scripture, predestination, atonement, the Eucharist and the theology of religions.

John Rawls is the most influential 20th century political philosopher, but critics have complained about the ahistorical character of his approach. The purpose of this book is to argue that these critics are, at best, only half correct.Pre-Liberal Political Philosophy concentrates on four pre-liberal thinkers who are major figures in the history of philosophy and who are surprisingly formative in the development of Rawls’s mature political philosophy: Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas.Several illuminating connections are drawn between Rawls’s political liberalism and Plato’s contrasting appeal to the “noble lie” in politics, between Rawls’s overall method of reflective equilibrium and Aristotle’s dialectic, between Rawls’s opposition to merit in the distribution of wealth and Augustine’s similar anti-Pelagian stance, and between Rawls’s view of a just society as a common good of common goods and the natural law dimension of Aquinas’s philosophy. In general, the distance between Rawlsian abstraction and his historical embeddedness is lessened considerably.

Is the God of traditional theism logically incompatible with all the evil in the world? In his book, Is a Good God Logically Possible? (Palgrave paperback, 2019) James Sterba argues that the God of traditional theism is logically incompatible with especially the horrendous evil consequences of moral and natural evil that exists in our world. In this Special Issue in Religions, sixteen philosophers challenge Sterba’s argument and he responds to all of them.
