Description

Thomism and Predestination: Principles and Disputations explores one of the most contested aspects of traditional Thomistic thought - the doctrine of predestination. This volume examines the principles behind the classical Thomist treatment of predestination, its interpretation among modern theologians, and the challenges it poses to Catholic theology. The book considers the relationship between predestination and the Augustinian notion of salvation by grace alone, and how this might impact a theology of predestination. It also delves into examples of the doctrine as illustrated in the spiritual writings of the saints, providing insight into the complexities of this central theme in theology. This volume is an introduction to a topic that is both speculatively challenging and deeply interconnected with other elements of Catholic faith.
