Angels and Demons
Angels occupy a significant space in contemporary popular spirituality. Yet, today more than ever, the belief in the existence of intermediary spirits between the human and divine realms needs to be evangelized and Christianized. Angels and Demons offers a detailed synthesis of the givens of the Christian tradition concerning the angels and demons, as systematized in its essential principles by St. Thomas Aquinas. Certainly, the doctrine of angels and demons is not at the heart of Christian faith, but its place is far from negligible. On the one hand, as part of faith seeking understanding, angelology has been and can continue to be a source of enrichment for philosophy. Thus, reflection on the ontological constitution of the angel, on the modes of angelic knowledge, and on the nature of the sin of Satan can engage and shed light on the most fundamental areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. On the other hand, angelology, insofar as it is inseparable from the ensemble of the Christian mystery (from the doctrine of creation to the Christian understanding of the spiritual life), can be envisioned from an original and fruitful perspective.
Surnaturel
Faith and Reason: Studies in Catholic Theology and Philosophy Series In the first section, Etienne Fouilloux describes the arc of Henri de Lubac's career up to the publication of his Surnaturel; Georges Chantraine, S.J., describes de Lubac's Surnaturel; Henry Donneaud, O.P., describes the early Thomistic response to the book; and Rene Mougel depicts Jacques Maritain's position on the topic.

Aristotle in Aquinas's Theology
Aristotle in Aquinas's Theology explores the role of Aristotelian concepts, principles, and themes in Thomas Aquinas's theology. Each chapter investigates the significance of Aquinas's theological reception of Aristotle in a central theological domain: the Trinity, the angels, soul and body, the Mosaic law, grace, charity, justice, contemplation and action, Christ, and the sacraments. In general, the essays focus on the Summa theologiae, but some range more widely in Aquinas's corpus. For some time, it has above all been the influence of Aristotle on Aquinas's philosophy that has been the center of attention. Perhaps in reaction to philosophical neo-Thomism, or perhaps because this Aristotel...
Reading Job with St. Thomas Aquinas
Reading Job with St. Thomas Aquinas is a scholarly contribution to Thomistic studies, specifically to the study of Aquinas’s biblical exegesis in relation to his philosophy and theology. Each of the thirteen chapters has a different focus, within the shared concentration of the book on Aquinas’s Literal Exposition on Job. The essays are arranged in three Parts: “Job and Sacra Doctrina”; “Providence and Suffering”; and “Job and the Moral Life”. Boyle’s opening essay argues that Aquinas’s commentary seeks to show what is required in the “Magister” (namely, Job and God) for the effective communication of wisdom. Mansini’s essay argues that by speaking, God reveals the ...
Habits and Holiness
"This comprehensive exploration of Thomas Aquinas's theology of habit takes habits in general as a prism for understanding human action and its influences and provides a unique synthesis of Thomistic virtue theory, modern science of habits, and best practices for eliminating bad habits and living good habits"--
Athansius

A well-known Catholic scholar in historical theology, Weinandy has provided students of theology with a profound historiography of Athanasius' major theological writing. - Calvin Theological Journal "A reliable, concise introduction to the theology of Athanasius." - International Journal of Systematic Theology "A sustained and intelligent introduction to Athanasius and his literature, and will rightly appear on all undergraduate patristic bibliographies." - The Journal of Theological Studies "A very fine theological (as its subtitle emphasizes) introduction to the Alexandrian bishop...[an] accessible,...
SAINT THOMAS D'AQUIN - LECTEUR DU CANTIQUE DES CANTIQUES
Les commentaires scripturaires, les sermons et les autres oeuvres de Thomas d’Aquin (1225-1274) comportent de nombreuses références au Cantique des cantiques, ce poème inspiré qu’il voit comme une prophétie célébrant les noces de Jésus-Christ et de l’Église. Les versets relatifs au bien-aimé lui permettent d’évoquer les perfections physiques et morales du Christ et d’illustrer les « mystères » de sa vie. Quant à la figure de la bien-aimée, elle renvoie simultanément à l’Église, à la Vierge Marie, toute belle et sans tache, et à chaque âme fidèle, pour qui le Cantique marque l’aboutissement d’un itinéraire spirituel qui culmine dans la charité parfaite...
Dieu, "celui qui est" (De Deo ut uno)
" Qu'est-ce que c'est Dieu ? ", demandait Thomas d'Aquin enfant. La contemplation du mystère de Dieu, dans l'unité de sa nature et la trinité des personnes, est le coeur de l'entreprise théologique. Elle a pour fondement la Révélation que Dieu fait de lui-même et, afin d'en procurer l'intelligence, elle assume le meilleur de la réflexion métaphysique puisque le Dieu révélé en Jésus-Christ n'est pas un autre Dieu que le Créateur du ciel et de la terre, l'Etre même subsistant, Cause première de tout être. " Celui qui est " s'inscrit dans la continuité des traités De Deo ut uno, qui, sous la forme d'un commentaire systématique des questions 2 à 26 de la Prima pars de la Som...
The Wayfarer's End
The Wayfarer’s End follows the human person’s journey to union with God in the theologies of Saint Bonaventure and Saint Thomas Aquinas. It argues that these seminal thinkers of the 13th Century emphasize scriptural notions of divine rewards as ordering principles for the graced movement of human viators to eternal life. Divine rewards emerge as a fundamental category through the study’s emphasis on Thomas and Bonaventure as scriptural commentators and preachers whose work in sacra pagina structures the content of their sacra doctrina. Shawn Colberg places Bonaventure’s and Aquinas’s scriptural, dogmatic, and polemical works into conversation and illumines their mutually edifying d...
