This new edition of An Aquinas Reader contains in one closely knit
volume representative selections that reflect every aspect of
Aquinas's philosophy. Divided into three section - Reality, God,
and Man - this anthology offers an unrivaled perspective of the
full scope and rich variety of Aquinas's thought. It provides the
general reader with an overall survey of one of the most
outstanding thinks or all time and reveals the major influence he
has had on many of the world's greatest thinkers. This revised
third edition of Clark's perennial still has all of the exceptional
qualities that made An Aquinas Reader a classic, but contains a new
introduction, improved format, and an updated bibliography.
Augustine of Hippo is a giant in the history of Christian thought,
commended by St Jerome for having virtually 're-founded the old
faith'. He was a philosopher, theologian, preacher, interpreter of
scripture, monk and bishop. Augustine dominated medieval theology,
strongly influenced the debates of the Reformation and continues to
shape Christian thought today. This book is intended for those who
want a comprehensive introduction to Augustine's life and thought,
and provides a clear and rounded account of his teachings and
influence.
This volume brings into dialogue the ancient wisdom of Augustine of
Hippo, a bishop of the early Christian Church of the fourth and
fifth centuries, with contemporary theologians and ethicists on the
topic of social justice. Each essay mines the major themes present
in Augustine's extensive corpus of writings-from his Confessions to
the City of God- with an eye to the following question: how can
this early church father so foundational to Christian doctrine and
teaching inform our twenty-first century context on how to create
and sustain a more just and equitable society? In his own day,
Augustine spoke to conditions of slavery, conflict and war,
violence and poverty, among many others. These conditions, while
reflecting the characteristics of our technological age, continue
to obstruct our collective efforts to bring about the common good
for the global human community. The contributors of this volume
have taken great care to read Augustine through the lens of his own
time and place; at the same time, they provide keen insights and
reflections which advance the conversation of social justice in the
present.
