Reviews
Brian Davies has brought together a judicious selection of the finest essays of the last half century on Aquinas-one which illustrates both the range of Aquinas's work and the variety of approaches that can usefully be brought to it. Newcomers to Aquinas will find plenty here to stimulate their interest and deepen their understanding, whilst specialist scholars will be pleased to have so many central discussions conveniently collected in a single volume. -- John Marenbon, Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College, University of Cambridge
Brian Davies has done it again. This volume of articles on one of the greatest books of philosophy in the West is a must read for everyone interested in Thomas Aquinas, the Summa Theologiae, or medieval philosophy in general. Davies has assembled a stellar cast of contributors who have covered the major themes of the Summa with clarity and subtlety. -- Jorge J. E. Gracia, SUNY Buffalo
