Book excerpt: La doctrine de la puissance notionnelle appartient à la catégorie des thèmes de la théologie trinitaire qui retiennent le moins l'attention. On la range rapidement parmi ces questions médiévales négligeables, datées et inutiles, dans lesquelles la scolastique aurait eu tendance à s'enliser, s'isolant ainsi du reste de la tradition chrétienne. A s'en tenir à des vues aussi expéditives, saint Thomas d'Aquin apparaît comme le plus coupable de ses contemporains car, sans lui accorder plus de place qu'elle ne mérite, nul autre ne s'est intéressé à la puissance notionnelle d'aussi près et à autant de reprises. Or, une étude minutieuse des textes de l'Aquinate, notamment de la Question 2 De Potentia qui est ici intégralement commentée, permet de dépasser une conclusion trop paresseuse. En premier lieu, si la doctrine de la puissance notionnelle est effectivement représentative des questionnements médiévaux sur la puissance divine, la portée que lui confère saint Thomas le conduit à retrouver et à approfondir les débats patristiques post-nicéens, notamment entre Grégoire de Nysse et Eunome. En second lieu, et c'est son apport le plus direct, la puissance notionnelle est la clé de l'élaboration d'une authentique doctrine de la fécondité divine. Ce travail d'élaboration s'avère aussi décisif, en troisième lieu, sur des points essentiels pour la théologie trinitaire : l'affirmation de productions réelles et immanentes en Dieu, la manière de signifier les processions divines, la découverte des concepts propres de génération et de spiration, l'accès à un véritable personnalisme trinitaire, l'articulation entre ordre essentiel et ordre personnel dans le discours trinitaire, ou encore l'appréhension du principe trinitaire de la Création. La théologie des perfections divines bénéficie elle aussi de la réflexion sur la puissance notionnelle, notamment en ce qui touche à l'actualité de l'esse divin et la Toute-puissance divine.

Download or read book The Trinity written by Thomas Joseph White, OP and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith. What can we say about the divine nature, and what does it mean to say that God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three persons who are one in being? In this book, best selling author Thomas Joseph White, OP, examines the development of early Christian reflection on the Trinity, arguing that essential contributions of Patristic theology are preserved and expanded in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. By focusing on Aquinas’ theology of the divine nature as well as his treatment of divine personhood, White explores in depth the mystery of Trinitarian monotheism. The Trinity: On the Nature and Mystery of the One God also engages with influential proposals of modern theologians on major topics such as Trinitarian creation, Incarnation and crucifixion, and presents creative engagements with these topics. Ultimately any theology of the cross is also a theology of the Trinity, and this book seeks to illustrate how the human life, death, and resurrection of Jesus reveal the inner life of God as Trinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presentation of the life and work of any great thinker is a formidable task, even for a renowned scholar. This is all the more the case when such a historical figure is a saint and mystic, such as Friar Thomas Aquinas. In this volume, Fr. Jean-Pierre Torrell, OP, masterfully takes up the strenuous task of presenting such a biography, providing readers with a detailed, scholarly, and profound account of the thirteenth-century theologian whose works have not ceased to draw the attention of both friend and foe! In this volume, Fr. Torrell, an internationally renowned expert on St. Thomas, speaks to neophytes and experts alike: for those new to Thomas’s works, he paints an engaging human portrait of Friar Thomas in his historical context; for specialists, he provides a rigorous scholarly account of contemporary research concerning Thomas’s life and work. This new edition of Fr. Torrell’s widely-lauded text involved significant revision, expansion, and bibliographical updates in light of the latest scholarship. The Catholic University of America Press is pleased to present such an eminent specialist’s mature synthesis concerning Friar Thomas Aquinas.
Download or read book Divine Speech in Human Words written by Durand Op Emmanuel and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the portrait of God revealed in Scripture fundamentally intelligible? The biblical accounts of God reveal seemingly contradictory themes: God's holiness and narratives telling of his anger; the Divine Omnipotence faced with the Impossible; the suffering Christ upon the Cross and the transcendent Trinity of Persons in God; the unique Savior and the universality of God's salvific will; and so forth. How are we to hold together all of this data without denying any aspect of the mystery of God? Must we give into our ambient culture's sense that the biblical God cannot be taken seriously by truly discerning and rational minds when they try to understand "the Divine"? Or, in the midst of this apparent contradiction, can we find the lines of harmony in the revealed mysteries? In Divine Speech in Human Words, Fr. Emmanuel Durand unties some of the knots that face us when we reflect on the God of biblical Revelation. In each of the essays gathered here, Fr. Durand sympathetically articulates the tensions and apparent contradictions experienced by contemporary minds as they strive to understand the revealed truth of God. A whole host of topics are covered in this volume: the Cross and the revelation of the Trinity; God's holiness and transcendence; divine immutability and the sorrow of a loving God; Divine Providence and human prayer; the fatherhood of God and eschatology; Christ's way of life; and many others. Drawing philosophical insights from the Thomistic tradition as his intellectual tools, Fr. Durand nonetheless emphasizes the importance of a properly theological mode of reflection, allowing these issues to be illuminated by the revealed truth of Sacred Scripture. Thus, for each of these difficult topics, he shows that a vital theological response must not limit itself to mere logical rigor but, rather, requires metaphysical insight and, above all, sapiential appreciation of God's revealed word. With such instruments in hand, each essay approaches the tensions of biblical revelation with an eager readiness to show how a thoughtful Thomistic practice of biblical theology can guide faith as it seeks an understanding of both contemporary and perennial theological problems.
Download or read book Principles of Catholic Theology Book 1 On the Nature of Theology written by Thomas Joseph White and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic theology has to face a certain number of fundamental questions: what is the nature and content of Christian revelation, what are the sources of revelation, how are the mysteries of the faith to be understood in relation of one to another, and how do the truths of the Catholic faith relate to the acquisitions of natural reason. In the contemporary context, Catholic theology is marked by a diversity of approaches, many of which are seemingly incompatible or estranged from one another. How might we think about the unity of Catholic theology over and above the diversity of forms? What role, if any, can Aquinas play as a common doctor in facilitating exchanges between theological traditions in the Church? Principles of Catholic Theology seeks to address directly the nature of Catholic theology and the challenge of its contemporary articulation with an eye towards its articulation in its Thomistic key. This book is also the first of a series of collections of essays by Thomas Joseph White, OP, extending over a range of fundamental topics in Catholic dogmatic theology.

Download or read book Aristotle in Aquinas s Theology written by Gilles Emery and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Aristotelian influence appears no longer necessary to demonstrate, the role of Aristotle in Aquinas's theology presently receives less theological attention than does Aquinas's use of other authorities (whether Scripture or particular Fathers), especially in domains outside of theological ethics. Indeed, in some theological circles the influence of Aristotle upon Aquinas's theology is no longer well understood. Readers will encounter here the great Aristotelian themes, such as act and potency, God as pure act, substance and accidents, power and generation, change and motion, fourfold causality, form and matter, hylomorphic anthropology, the structure of intellection, the relationship between knowledge and will, happiness and friendship, habits and virtues, contemplation and action, politics and justice, the best form of government, and private property and the common good. The ten essays in this book engage Aquinas's reception of Aristotle in his theology from a variety of points of view: historical, philosophical, and constructively theological.

Download or read book Before Truth written by Jeremy Wilkins and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s frequently said that we live in a “post-truth” age. That obviously can’t be true, but it does name a real problem on our hands. Getting things right is hard, especially if they’re complicated. It takes preparation, diligence, and honesty. Wisdom, according to Thomas Aquinas, is the quality of right judgment. This book is about the problem of becoming wise, the problem “before truth.” It is about that problem particularly as it comes up for religious, philosophical, and theological truth claims. Before Truth: Lonergan, Aquinas, and the Problem of Wisdom proposes that Bernard Lonergan’s approach to these problems can help us become wise. One of the special problems facing Christian believers today is our awareness of how much our tradition has developed. This development has occurred along a path shot through with contingencies. Theologians have to be able to articulate how and why doctrines, institutions, and practices that have developed—and are still developing—should nevertheless be worthy of our assent and devotion.
Download or read book Le Christ selon saint Thomas d Aquin written by Édouard-Henri Weber and published by Fleurus. This book was released on 2011-03-25T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une étude de première main sur la christologie de saint Thomas d’Aquin. S’appuyant sur les récents progrès de l’histoire des doctrines philosophiques et théologiques, il veut faire bénéficier le lecteur d’une redécouverte des textes eux-mêmes, qu’il cite abondamment en traduction originale. Il s’agit aussi bien des textes devenus classiques - comme la Somme théologique et la Somme contre les gentils - et de ce fait souvent soumis aux réductions académiques, que des commentaires de l’Écriture habituellement négligés. L’intérêt d’un tel ouvrage, doté d’une documentation si riche, sera bien sûr culturel car il incitera à la lecture des textes d’un grand auteur ; mais il sera avant tout doctrinal. Il y a en effet grand profit à remonter, des commentaires plus ou moins inspirés de la scolastique tardive qui l’ont trop souvent recouverte, à la source irremplaçable que sont et restent les écrits du Maître de Paris, de Viterbe et Orvieto, de Rome et de Naples. Là se dégage l’articulation vive, ménagée par celui qu’on a pu avec raison nommer le Prince de la théologie, de fortes exigences rationnelles et philosophiques avec l’affirmation centrale. La visée théologique de ce livre reste primordiale. À découvrir l’importance ontologique et la portée théologale dont saint Thomas crédite l’activité de connaissance et de vouloir exercée par l’homme Jésus, on assiste à la mise en œuvre de la belle ambition, couronnée de succès : surmonter l’antagonisme multiséculaire, trop vite jugé inévitable, de la démarche théologique dite d’« en haut » et de celle qualifiée d’« en bas ». Au dossier des plus grandes réponses offertes dans l’histoire à la redoutable question qui est latente dans l’affirmation « vrai Dieu et vrai homme », la christologie retracée ici servira de forte référence. Une collection de référence en christologie sous la direction de Monseigneur Doré.
