| Description: |
Investigates the intent, method, and structural unity of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles. In this innovative study Thomas S. Hibbs goes against the grain of most traditional interpretations of the work and argues that the intended audience is Christian and that its subject is Christian wisdom. |
| Synopsis: |
"...A brilliant interpretation of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles. Hibbs convincingly shows that, contrary to longstanding legend, the Summa is neither a manual for Christian missionaries nor primarily a work of apologetics, but is instead a dialectical confrontation with the newly rediscovered Aristotle and a restatement of the fundamentals of the Christian faith in the light of that confrontation." Ernest L. Fortin, Boston College Dialectic and Narrative in Aquinas investigates the intent, method, and structural unity of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles. In this innovative study Thomas S. Hibbs goes against the grain of most traditional interpretations of the work and argues that the intended audience is Christian and that its subject is Christian wisdom. In the process of making his argument, Hibbs demonstrates that the Summa Contra Gentiles is the most important of Aquinas's texts on the relationship between faith and reason, theology, and philosophy. |
