Christ and Spirituality in St. Thomas Aquinas

The studies in this volume investigate themes of particular spiritual relevance in Thomas Aquinas’ theology: friendship, charity, prayer, configuration to Christ, priesthood, preaching. Aquinas’ approach to theology was guided by the desire to grow spiritually through theologizing. Desiring to underscore the Trinitarian character of the Christian life, Aquinas pays careful attention to the human being as created in the image of God, with Christ as the model to imitate.
