This unique volume offers fifteen original essays by leading scholars that explore the question of whether, and to what extent, Aquinas may (or may not) be considered a "common doctor" in theological and philosophical engagements today. With that unifying theme, the book begins with a foreword by Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, OP, and an introduction by the volume co-editors. Following its first chapter, on Thomas Aquinas's status in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council, the volume offers four philosophical chapters that pertain to Aquinas as "common doctor" and our understanding of metaphysics, Aristotle, justice and law, and creation and technology. Ten chapters of theological engagements study Aquinas's relevance to the meaning of science, contemporary biblical exegesis, medieval Greek and Latin biblical exegesis, the articles of faith, divine providence, the Trinity, Incarnation, the Eucharistic liturgy, grace, and moral theology. Philosophers, theologians, and other scholars who have questions about Aquinas's abiding authority in the academy will benefit from this far-ranging and thought-provoking exploration.
