Aquinas

First published 30 years ago and long out of print, "Aquinas: God and Action" appears here for the first time in paperback. This classic volume by eminent philosopher and theologian David Burrell argues that Aquinas s is not the god of Greek metaphysics, but a god of both being and activity. Aquinas s plan in the "Summa Theologiae," according to Burrell, is to instruct humans how to find eternal happiness through acts of knowing and loving. Featuring a new foreword by the author, this edition will be welcomed by philosophers and theologians alike."
