ISBN: 0802079881 ISBN-13: 9780802079886 Publisher: University of Toronto Press OUR PRICE: $47.45 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: May 1997 Annotation: Bernard Lonergan's Theological Writings Have influenced religious scholars, especially since the first publication in the 1940s of the series of five articles which make up Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas. These articles first appeared in Theological Studies and were subsequently republished in book form in 1967 under the present title. This volume contains a new introduction by the editors and editorial improvements such as the full translation of all Latin texts. Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a product of Lonergan's eleven years of study of the thought of Thomas Aquinas. It is considered by many to be a breakthrough in the history of Lonergan's work and a foundation upon which his later contributions were constructed. The book interprets aspects in the writing of Aquinas relevant to trinitarian theory and, as in most of Lonergan's writing, one of its principal aims is to assist the reader in the search to understand the workings of the human mind. Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a vital component of Lonergan's oeuvre, and of continuing relevance to trinitarian theology, Aquinas studies, and inquiries into human cognition. |
