Infos

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.

Rezensionen

"Mark Jordan's recent book, Rewritten Theology, challenges the way in which the achievement of Thomas Aquinas has been both received and reformulated, often in order to serve particular theological and philosophical ends." (American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, May 2009)
