Description
Thomistic Mystagogy: St. Thomas Aquinas's Commentaries on the Mass by Hugh Barbour and Urban Hannon is a study of the meaning and purpose of the various rites surrounding the holy Eucharist, as understood through the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Drawing on four essential texts, this book pieces together a properly Thomistic commentary on the Mass, exploring how St. Thomas believed the sacrament relates to "the whole mystery of our salvation". By examining the words and actions of the liturgy, Hannon sheds light on the significance of the holy Eucharist in Christian worship. Through its analysis, Thomistic Mystagogy offers a nuanced understanding of the relationship between the sacred liturgy and the broader theology of St. Thomas Aquinas.
