"The purpose of this Handbook is to provide the first one-volume survey of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant philosophical and theological reception of Thomas Aquinas over the past 750 years. In addition to chapters surveying the key figures and time periods in the reception of Aquinas across confessional divides, the Handbook also includes chapters on central philosophical and theological themes that exhibit the main lines of what any adequate reception of Aquinas would need to communicate. Figures and major schools studied for their reception (whether critical or appreciative) of Aquinas's theology include Scotus and Ockham, the Byzantine scholastics, Meister Eckhart, Durandus, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Cardinal Cajetan, the Council of Trent, the leading theologians of the Spanish "Golden Age," the Reformed and Lutheran scholastics, the combatants in the De Auxiliis controversy, the Catholic Thomistic Commentatorial tradition, Russian Orthodox readers of Aquinas, Joseph Kleutgen and the First Vatican Council, the Catholic neo-scholastics, Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, Josef Pieper, the Transcendental Thomists, the main figures of the nouvelle théologie, Karl Barth, Elizabeth Anscombe and Peter Geach, analytic Thomism, postliberal Thomism, and many more. Specialized areas of reception that the Handbook treats include philosophy of nature, metaphysics, ethics, the human person, the natural knowledge of God, politics and law, the Trinity, creation and fall, providence, nature and grace, Jesus Christ, sacraments, and eschatology. The Handbook opens with an introductory study by the eminent Thomist Jean-Pierre Torrell, O.P., which sets the stage for the remaining chapters"--
