Culture and the Thomist Tradition

Meer over het boek

The examination of Thomism's impact on Catholicism reveals its struggles to address contemporary societal challenges, particularly in light of Vatican II's cultural declarations. Tracey Rowland critiques the assumption that the Church's teachings mandate a modernization of ecclesiastical culture, arguing that this interpretation stems from a simplistic reading of the Council's documents. Furthermore, she highlights Thomism's shortcomings in providing a viable theology of culture, essential for navigating the complexities of modernity.
