Christ's Fulfillment of Torah and Temple is a concise introduction
to the Christian theology of salvation in light of the
contributions of Thomas Aquinas. In this cogent study, Matthew
Levering identifies six important aspects of soteriology, each of
which corresponds to an individual chapter in the book. Levering
focuses on human history understood in light of the divine law and
covenants, Jesus the Incarnate Son of God and Messiah of Israel,
Jesus' cross, transformation in the image of God, the Mystical Body
of Christ into which all human beings are called, and eternal life.
Taking the doctrines of faith as his starting point, Levering's
objective is to answer the questions of both Christians and
non-Christians who desire to learn how and for what end Jesus
"saves" humankind. Levering's work also speaks directly to
contemporary systematic theologians. In contrast to widespread
assumptions that Aquinas's theology of salvation is overly abstract
or juridical, Levering demonstrates that Aquinas's theology of
salvation flows from his reading of Scripture and deserves a
central place in contemporary discussions.
As a Thomistic contribution to contemporary theology, this
fruitful study develops a theology of salvation in accord with
contemporary canonical readings of Scripture and with the teachings
of the Second Vatican Council on the fulfillment and permanence of
God's covenants.
