I did some reading of Aquinas on the topic of justification, and am very surprised at what I found.

Nevertheless, their views were approved as orthodox by their local bishops and by the pope. I think this challenges some of our perspectives on post-Tridentine theology, where we assume that all of the radical Augustinians got into trouble like Baius and Jansen...<br /><br />Let me know if that made any sense...Gaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722914942511761947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925308476543851194.post-62739595984103028582009-11-09T20:33:45.732-08:002009-11-09T20:33:45.732-08:00I would certainly like to talk with you about thes...I would certainly like to talk with you about these issues. If you could recommend books which deal with connections between the early and medieval church and the reformation I would appreciate it. My primary interests are the apostolic fathers, Ambrose, Prosper of Aquitaine, Fulgentius of Ruspe, Bernard of Clairvaux, Ratramnus of Corbie, Claudius of Turrin, John Chrysostom, and John Wycliff. If you want to recommend other authors I would appreciate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355003765385878787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925308476543851194.post-90985449988341268602009-11-05T11:00:35.601-08:002009-11-05T11:00:35.601-08:00"Contradictory" is not on the top-ten li..."Contradictory" is not on the top-ten list for describing Thomas Aquinas' work, though. :-)<br /><br />I'd love to chat about any of these matters if you are interested. I'm very interested in efforts to put Reformation soteriology into dialogue with ancient and medieval Christian thought. This has been done before, to some extent, but these efforts have often suffered from prejudices and biases of one sort or another. Not that anyone is free from them, but we can be very sensitive to their existence and take the requisite precautions. <br /><br />Anyway, it is this exciting effort on your part (particularly your mentioning further inquiry on Ambrose), which drew me to your blog.

I...Thomas Aquinas is certainly an interesting case. I am by no means an expert on his work, I have only read selections of the Summa. Thomas has a lot to say about penance and the process of salvation which would seem to negate forensic justification. However, I have read some things similar to what you are referencing. Sproul likes Aquinas a lot and argues that he did hold to both a Lutheran view of justification and a Calvinistic view of predestination.<br />My guess at this point would be that he held somewhat contradicting views in regards to justification. Or, perhaps he never reconciled forensic justification with the rest of his system. This is an interesting question and I will certainly look into it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355003765385878787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925308476543851194.post-65027104774951414782009-11-04T12:46:47.285-08:002009-11-04T12:46:47.285-08:00Just, by the way, Thomas Aquinas used the terms &q...Just, by the way, Thomas Aquinas used the terms "sola fide" when describing the instantaneous justification of the sinner (in his commentary on Romans). How does he fit into the grand view of Church history--from the Fathers, through Bernard, to the Reformers and their successors--that is detailed on your blog?Gaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722914942511761947noreply@blogger.com
