Across two millennia, Christian theology has been advanced by contributions of leading theologians who have reflected upon substantive claims of the Christian faith, developed accounts of their interconnections and meaning, and engaged with the intellectual challenges raised in their era. This course invites students to detailed engagement with the work of Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), one of the most significant and influential theologians from the history of the Christian tradition, by way of sustained study of primary texts in the context of lively seminar discussion and debate.
