This text considers Aquinas the theologian, his profession as a
teacher and preacher, his influence past and present, and theology
as the subject of his thought and most of his writings. It examines
the "Summa theologiae" in terms of its purpose and multiple
structures. The centre piece of this volume is a tour through the
themes of Christianity, as presented in the Summa, themes which
range from Triune divine being, to the graced person as the image
of God, and a member of the body of Christ, to the life beyond
death. The perspective shifts between present and past, and O'Meara
complements his study with an overview of six centuries of
interpretation of Thomas's theology, revealing how through the
centuries - various schools and disciples of Thomas have advocated
his thought - but few have understood the structure and intent of
his theology. It provides a contemporary exposition of Aquinas
theology set against a backdrop of insight that reveals how it
mirrored the creative directions of his personality and the times
in which he lived, as well as the cultural and scientific forms and
insights available to him. The author also discusses how some of
Thomas's themes can contribute to theology in contemporary times,
such as in psychology, art, and a theology of world religions.
