Bøger af Jean-Pierre Torrell

The presentation of the life and work of any great thinker is a formidable task. This volume provides 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.

This first volume in Jean-Pierre Torrell's set of books on Thomas Aquinas has been revised to include a new appendix. The appendix consists of additions to the text, the catalogue of Aquinas's work, and the chronology. Each item in the appendix is called out in the original part of the book with an asterisk in the margin.

In this biography of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the author brings his expertise to bear on Aquinas's ""Summa Theologiae"". With an account of Aquinas's life, this book contains a brief introduction to Aquinas's masterpiece - its content; it's historical, literary, and doctrinal settings; and its lasting significance.

This work lays out the theoretical background to Saint Thomas Aquinas' spirituality. It shows that his theology is clearly oriented towards contemplation and is as deeply spiritual as it is doctrinal.
