Description
Olivier-Thomas Venard's Thomas d’Aquin poète théologien trilogy, an in-depth analysis of the scripture of St. Thomas Aquinas, is translated for a new audience in this streamlined anthology. Featuring selections from all three books in the trilogy, chosen in accordance with Venard's direction and discernment, it introduces not only arguments pertinent to the theme of this volume, but also an invitation to explore the full breadth of Venard's work.
Concentrating on the subjects of scripture, theology and literature, language as a theological question, and the word of God, Murphy and Oakes capture the scope and energy of Venard's trilogy while collating many of its key passages. Ranging from the themes of a poetic gospel and Christology to the Thomist theories of semiology and the metaphysics of the Word, this volume sets scholars on the path to a deeper understanding of Aquinas's systematic theology.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
A Poetic Christ is a demanding but rewarding work that embodies Venard's call to rethink theology as a reasoned history of faith's poetics within community. Praised by Modern Theology and scholars like Matthew Levering, this translation makes accessible the profound and interdisciplinary thought of one of the foremost interpreters of God's Word, enriched by a foreword from Cyril O'Regan.
