Trinity in Aquinas

by Gilles Emery

Gilles Emery belongs among the world’s premier theologians of the Trinity. With an introduction by the renowned Dominican Thomist Jean-Pierre Torrell, "Trinity in Aquinas" combines historical erudition and mature speculative insight. In scholarly prose of rare clarity and precision, Emery explores the key themes of Trinitarian divine unity, the Trinitarian character of the divine act of creation, the integration of biblical exegesis and speculative theology, and the filioque, the relationship between divine Trinity.

Reviews

[Charlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emery combines erudite insight into a difficult theologian on perhaps his most difficult topic with clear prose and logical development. This book could be a secondary source for a class on the Trinity, Aquinas, or both.
