About
I am a graduate student at Boston College pursuing my PhD in theological ethics. My world view is decidedly Thomistic. I believe that faith and reason are not contradictory and that the light of reason can both illuminate and deepen certain tenants of faith. I find Thomas Aquinas’ method deeply inspiring for the problems we face today in both the church and the world. Like Aquinas, I am a committed Roman Catholic praying for the day that the body of Christ becomes whole again. In the meantime, my husband and I attend worship at both a Roman Catholic Church and a Church of Christ on Sunday mornings.

Hello,
I often find myself in conversations with a scholarly sounding Lutheran who is convinced that the advent of “Thomism” was the break in the natural development of Christian doctrine because it forces human reason upon the God’s plan of salvation – which I know you’ve heard before. My question: Is there a goood study/book/resource that puts this theory into an objective perspective. I am a Catholic convert of 9 years and have grown very energized in the Faith and wish to delve deeper into this and some of the more contriversial issues. Such as the recognized preeminence of the Bishop of Rome and how early this occured and the real story behind the 1054 Schism. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
