Thomas Aquinas Theologian
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.

Vast Universe
If we have learned anything from recent advances in cosmology and astronomy, it is that we have only barely begun to comprehend the vastness of our universe and all that it contains. For Christians, this raises some fascinating questions: If there are intelligent beings out there, what would be their relationship to what Christianity claims is a special history on Earth of life with God? Would the fact of persons on other planets banish or modify our understanding of God? Would it reduce the importance of Jesus? What role might goodness and evil play in extraterrestrial civilizations? Might God have incarnated himself among other races of creatures, as he became incarnate as Jesus among us? Respectful of the sciences that disclose the reality of the universe, Thomas O'Meara wonders about good and evil, intelligence and freedom, revelation and life as they might exist in other galaxies. In this book, one possible aspect of the universe we live in meets the perspective of Christian revelation.
God in the World

Erich Przywara, S.J. (1889-1972), is one of the important Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century. Yet, in the English-speaking world Przywara remains largely unknown. Few of his sixty books or six hundred articles have been translated. In this engaging new book, Thomas O'Meara offers a comprehensive study of the German Jesuit Erich Przywara and his philosophical theology. Przywara's scholarly contributions were remarkable. He was one of three theologians who introduced the writings of John Henry Cardinal Newman into Germany. From Przywara's position at the Jesuit journal in Munich, Stimmen der ZeitSpiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Przywara was also deeply engaged in the ideas ...
Life Beyond Death
The subtitle of Professor's O'Meara's book, A Traveler's Guide for Christians, is a particularly apt means to dispel a common misunderstanding of the Christian discourse about life beyond death. The theology of the "Last Things," or eschatology, is not an advance report of what will happen after death, a peek into the life beyond death to satisfy our curiosity. It is important to note that the few biblical statements on heaven and hell are not descriptions of the afterlife but prescriptions or guides on how to live this present life in a way that will make us worthy of God's gift of eternal life in communion with the Triune God, the saints, and the entire human family, in a renewed and trans...
