Reviews"This volume teaches how to think theologically. It combines the order and clarity typical of the Thomist tradition with the ability to compare and dialogue with both the Church Fathers and contemporary theology. The solutions proposed are sometimes provocative, never predictable, always animated by a fine ecumenical sensitivity."?Guilio Maspero, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross "Thomas Joseph White, OP, is the gold-standard for how to practice rigorous academic theology rooted in and in service to the truth of the Catholic faith. His reception of and recourse to the theology and philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, along with his willingness to confront both traditional and contemporary challenges to the faith are defining characteristics of his entire corpus. In this third installment of his Principles of Catholic Theology , we find the work divided into two parts which engage, respectively, major topics in Trinitarian theology and Christology. Only a scholar of the highest intellectual aptitude whose gifts are buttressed by a life of deep liturgical prayer could author a volume that ranges from questions surrounding the divine simplicity and inner-Trinitarian life, creation, Aquinas and Barth on analogy, Christ's knowledge, wills, and natures, and problem of Christology and theological method?to name a few?with such alacrity. And yet, that is what we find in Principles of Catholic Theology , vol. 3: a consideration of the most important and challenging topics in Trinitarian theology and Christology under the unifying light of the Divine Wisdom with St. Thomas Aquinas as the privileged guide. It is not saying too much to claim that these essays are essential reading for any theologian or student of theology who wishes to achieve or maintain competency in the field. Like his delectable bluegrass music, readers of these penetrating chapters will return to them frequently without ever exhausting the wisdom they transmit."?Roger Nutt, Ave Maria University "This excellent collection brings together Fr. Thomas Joseph White's impressive insights into Trinitarian theology and Christology, re-representing the importance and value of Thomism in a clear and persuasive manner."?Timothy J. Pawl, University of St. Thomas, MN
Volume NumberBk. 3
SynopsisWhat if anything can human beings know about God, either by way of philosophical reasoning or by divine revelation? How does the mystery of the Incarnation illuminate our understanding of the nature and mystery of God and the nature and destiny of the human person? The essays in this book explore topics pertaining to the nature of God, apophatic theology, divine simplicity and the holy Trinity, divine beauty, and the beauty of creation. The book also contains a series of speculative considerations of Christology: Why did God become human? How ought we understand the two natures of Christ and the topic of the communication of idioms (attribution of both divine and human properties to one person)? There is also a sustained treatment of Jesus' human knowledge and voluntary freedom. Did Jesus understand his own lordship and his unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and if so, how? Did Christ's human will always accord with the divine will, and what significance does this idea have for our understanding of the redemption affected by Christ for the whole human race? Through these explorations, principles drawn from Thomas Aquinas and from Thomistic tradition are taken into account as key resources for the adjudication of contemporary theological challenges. Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 3 is a continuation of Fr. Thomas Joseph White's collection of essays, extending over a range of fundamental topics in Catholic dogmatic theology.
