Responding to the recent upsurge of interest in Thomas Aquinas,
this book goes straight to the heart of the contemporary debates
about Thomism.
* Focuses on the concept of authority, both in terms of
Aquinas’s own attitude to authority, and how the Church
authorities have used Aquinas’s texts.
* Engages with appropriations of Aquinas’s work by a range
of theologians, from liberal Catholics to the creators of radical
orthodoxy.
* Argues for future readings of Aquinas which are substantially
different from those which have gone before.
