John Paul II and St Thomas Aquinas / Edited by Michael Dauphinais & Matthew Levering

Karol Wotjyla, the future Pope John Paul II, wrote his dissertation on the relationship of the thought of St John of the Cross to that of St Thomas Aquinas. Throughout his career, Wotjyla/John Paul returned to the thought of St Thomas, especially in the encyclicals he published on  moral theology, faith and reason, and the Eucharist. This volume explores, in a scholarly fashion, the creative manner in which Wotjyla/John Paul built upon Aquinas's thought.
