RIK. VAN NIEUWENHOVE's Books

This book is written for anybody who wants to find out more about the ideas of the major theologians of the medieval period from the time of St Augustine to the end of the fourteenth century. Rather than offering a survey of a myriad of theologians I have decided to focus on a limited number of key thinkers and expound their ideas in some depth. I opted for a text-focused approach, often quoting from primary texts, thus allowing the authors to speak for themselves as much as possible. I have also incorporated some brief comments on the historical and cultural background of each period, which will assist the reader in contextualizing the authors we discuss"--

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval thought, be they students of theology, philosophy or literature.

According to Thomas Aquinas, contemplation is the central goal of our life. This study considers the philosophical foundations of the contemplative act; the nature of the active and contemplative lives in light of Aquinas's Dominican calling; the role of faith in contemplation; and contemplation and the beatific vision.
