Cardinal Tommaso de Vio (1469-1534), commonly known as Cajetan,
remains a misunderstood figure. Cajetan on Sacred Doctrine is the
first ever monograph on Cajetan as a theologian in his own right,
and it fills an immense lacuna in the debate on the nature of
sacred doctrine from the Thomism of the Renaissance. Confirming
Cajetan as a key protagonist within the emergent Reformation, this
work delivers an indispensable immersion into his theological
method in relation to his closest predecessors and contemporaries:
Hervaeus Natalis, Blessed Duns Scotus, Gregory of Rimini, Johannes
Capreolus, Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio, Martin Luther, and
others. The first ever commentary on St. Thomas Aquinas's entire
Summa Theologiae was published by Cajetan. This monograph focuses
primarily on the Summa Theologiae Ia pars, question 1, concerning
sacred doctrine, and how Cajetan unpacks the potency of Aquinas's
opening syllogism, setting forth a coherent division of the
question, and ultimately touching the mind of Aquinas when
revealing the articles of the Apostles' Creed as the Summa
Theologiae's macrostructure. Finally, we are shown how Cajetan
emphasizes the essential link between ecclesiology and the
communication of sacred doctrine, especially the papacy's role in
guaranteeing the proposal and explication of the faith. Cajetan's
accomplishments as a biblical exegete established him as a renowned
Renaissance scholar and a forerunner of future ecumenical dialogue.
Furthermore, his grasp of theology's perennial properties continue
to make him an important interlocutor in the renewed quest for a
unity in theology in an ever more fragmented aggregation of
theologies. Cajetan's theological labor is a perpetuation of the
via antiqua, a biblical-theological worldview handed down through
Tradition. St. Gregory the Theologian (329-390), the via antiqua's
preeminent Eastern representative and chief theological constructor
of Christendom, offers the monograph's author--himself a Byzantine
Hieromonk--a prime opportunity for a few closing insights on the
innate symphony between two very distant periods and distinct
theological traditions within the one ecumenical Church.
