Status Updates From Albert and Thomas: Selected...

After providing St. Alberts commentary on Mystical Theology, this book then goes into Thomas' Commentary on the Sentences [from Lombard] and his discussion of prayer.

The section on Dionysius' Mystical Theology adequately explains not only what negative theology is, but why it is absolutely necessary as the way to approach theology. It wonderfully illustrates the transcendence of God from all else that is.

Albert Magnus: "We must say that we affirm things of God only relatively, that is, causally, whereas we deny things of God absolutely, that is, with reference to what he is in himself. And there is no contradiction between a relative affirmation and an absolute negation."

This should probably raise the eyebrows of any student of Buddhist philosophy.
