Introduction to Medieval Theology

By: Rik Van Nieuwenhove

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"--

Thomas Aquinas and Contemplation

By: Rik Van Nieuwenhove

Contemplation, according to Thomas Aquinas, is the central goal of our life. This study considers the epistemological and metaphysical foundations of the contemplative act; the nature of the active and contemplative lives in light of Aquinas's Dominican calling; the role of faith, charity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in contemplation; and contemplation and the beatific vision. Rik Van Nieuwenhove argues that Aquinas espouses a profoundly intellective notion of contemplation in the strictly speculative sense, which culminates in a non-discursive moment of insight (intuitus simplex). In marked contrast to his contemporaries Aquinas therefore rejects a sapiential or affective brand of theology. He also employs a broader notion of contemplation, which can be enjoyed by all Christians, in which the gifts of the Holy Spirit are of central importance. Thomas Aquinas and Contemplation will appeal to readers interested in this key aspect of Aquinas's thought. Van Nieuwenhove provides a lucid account of central aspects of Aquinas's metaphysics, epistemology, theology, and spirituality. He also offers new insights into the nature of the theological discipline as Aquinas sees it, and how theology relates to philosophy.
