Knowing the Love of Christ
Knowing the Love of Christ provides a thorough introduction to the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas in accessible language. As a complement to the many short introductions to St. Thomas's philosophy, this book fills a gap in the literature on Thomas—a comprehensive introduction to his thought written by theologians. With enthusiasm and insight, Michael Dauphinais and Matthew Levering make available the vast theology of Thomas Aquinas. Focusing upon the Summa Theologiae, Dauphinais and Levering illumine the profoundly biblical foundations of Thomas's powerful vision of reality. Drawing upon their own experience, the authors guide readers into grappling with the fresh and penetrating insights of St. Thomas. Students at all stages of theological education will find this book an enriching introduction to the mysteries of the Christian faith.
Matthew Levering is professor of theology at the University of Dayton. He has published numerous books, including Christ's Fulfillment of Torah and Temple: Salvation According to Thomas Aquinas (2002) and Participatory Biblical Exegesis: A Theology of Biblical Interpretation (2008), both published by the University of Notre Dame Press.
