Produktbeschreibung

Aquinas in Dialogue explores Aquinas' relevance to contemporary theology. The volume comprises a series of essays written by both scholars of Aquinas and by those who are actively involved in ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue. These essays demonstrate how Aquinas continues to illuminate dialogue among Christians and between Christians and non-Christians. They cover a wide range of subjects from Aquinas and Eastern Orthodoxy to Aquinas and atheism, and help us to think rigorously about what is required to speak truthfully to people with different beliefs.
