- Summary:
- An exemplary piece of historical theology! Barnes's finegrained, but nimble analysis of Aquinas's conception of Christ's humanity, carefully situated within its thirteenth-century scholastic context, illumines both the crucial dependence and remarkable originality of the Dominican's mature Christology. It also points up the perduring theological value of the highly integrated nature of scholastic reflection on the person and work of Christ. Book jacket.
