Item “Whoever Eats My Flesh and Drinks My Blood Remains in Me and I in Him”: Saint Thomas Aquinas on Sacramental and Spiritual Reception of the Eucharist Autores/as(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2021-12-21) Colberg, Shawn MichaelThis study exposits Thomas’s teaching on Eucharistic reception, giving particular attention to his treatment of spiritual and sacramental eating as well as the res et sacramentum of the sacrament. It traces the theology of spiritual and sacramental reception in the Summa theologies’ magisterial teaching on the Eucharist, and it argues that, far from acting merely as an esoteric or artificial heuristic intended to manage theological tensions in his doctrine of the Eucharist, Thomas identifies spiritual eating as vital for understanding three significant biblical accounts of receiving the body and blood of Christ. Thomas’s biblical commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew’s Last Supper Narrative (26:26-30), the Gospel of John’s Bread of Life Discourse (John 6:22-71), and Saint Paul’s I Corinthians discussion of worthy reception (I Cor. 11:23-34) observe that the very truth of Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist –perfect in itself– makes sacramental and spiritual eating a decisive and scripturally operative difference for progress in the Christian life.Item St. Thomas’ Use of Pauline Theology in Explaining the Mysteries of Christ’s Public Life(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2021-12-21) Canty, AaronAlong with the gospels and the early Church Fathers, the theology of St. Paul is an important resource for the Christology of St. Thomas Aquinas. In his questions on the mysteries of Christ’s public life in the Tertia Pars of the Summa theologiae, Aquinas utilizes a wide variety of Pauline passages to explain Christ’s manner of life, temptation, teaching, and miracles. This essay examines the location and function of these passages and argues that the influence of St. Paul is more prominent in the earlier questions than the later ones. Aquinas finds numerous passages in Romans to be useful in discussing the manner of Christ’s life and His teaching, and he draws on both letters to the Corinthians when discussing each of the four dimensions of Christ’s public life. In the questions on Christ’s miracles, however, St. Paul’s theology is much less influential.Item St. Thomas Aquinas’s Postilla super Psalmos as the work of a Dominican friar and theologian at prayer(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2021-12-21) Vijgen, JörgenSt. Thomas’s commentary on the Book of Psalms, known as the Postilla super Psalmos, gives us a privileged insight into the mind and heart of a Dominican friar and theologian at work and at prayer. In this contribution I will elucidate these claims on the basis of elements found in his commentary and in particular in the areas of (1) prayer and the liturgy, (2) Christ, Mary and the Church, (3) Sin and Mercy and (4) Contemplation and Preaching.Item The Literal Sense of Scripture in Albert and Aquinas’s Eucharistic Theology. Some Texts and Analysis(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2021-12-21) Surmanski, Albert MarieBoth Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas place value on the literal sense of scripture. This paper compares their teaching and use of the literal sense in Eucharistic texts in regard to 1) their explicit teaching about the senses of Scripture, 2) their understanding of Old Testament Sacrifices, 3) selected passages of systematic Eucharistic theology where the familiarity of bread and wine imagery provides a temptation to overlook Old Testament context, and 4) the interpretation of the Eucharistic discourse in John 6. While their theology of the literal sense is similar, Albert is more influenced by the looser styles of earlier monastic theology, which results in a rich and imaginative but less precise reading than Aquinas.Item Il Dio di Aristotele come “centrale elettrica della natura”. Breve analisi del Περὶ χόσμον πρὸς Αλέξαμδρον in riferimento alla causazione del Primo Motore Immobile(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2023-06-25) Gallo, Francesco LuigiIn questo contributo vengono indagati alcuni concetti della teologia aristotelica (il concetto di divino e quello di trascendenza) a partire da un’espressione emblematica utilizzata dallo storico francese Étienne Gilson per descrivere il Primo Motore Immobile aristotelico: “centrale elettrica della natura”. L’espressione del noto studioso non è soltanto particolarmente accattivante, ma risulta essere filosoficamente assai significativa poiché veicola perfettamente il significato che assume il Dio di Aristotele nell’economia complessiva del cosmo, più in particolare nel ciclo eterno delle corruzioni e delle generazioni. La ricostruzione storica è finalizzata a mostrare la novità del messaggio cristiano contenuto nella Rivelazione e che trova nelle pagine di Tommaso d’Aquino una chiarezza concettuale, filosofico-metafisica, di eccezionale valore. In esse è possibile osservare la piena maturazione della nuova visione di tipo creazionista (basata sulla Metafisica dell’Esodo 3,14) che, pur in continuità con la visione aristotelica, ne approfondisce smisuratamente i presupposti metafisici.Item Tommaso d’Aquino commentatore di Aristotele. Riflessioni metafisiche sul rischio del monismo(Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, 2024-06-19) Gallo, Francesco LuigiIn questo contributo tenterò di rispondere ad una domanda fondamentale e assai complessa: la concezione di Dio come Esse Ipsum Subsistens rischia una deriva verso il monismo parmenideo? L’indagine verterà dapprima sul superamento di Aristotele della visione parmenidea e poi si concentrerà sulla metafisica dell’essere di Tommaso d’Aquino che, se correttamente intesa, non rischia affatto una deriva verso il monismo ontologico. Saranno infatti presentati alcuni passi che comprovano come il concetto centrale della concezione di Tommaso, quello di partecipazione, garantisca proprio dal rischio del monismo, a patto che si intenda la presenza di Dio negli enti non in un senso quantitativo.
