Sheer Joy: Conversations With Thomas Aquinas on Creation Spirituality

About this book

Here is a new edition of one of Matthew Foxs most powerful books another in a series of the classic works by the maverick priest and theologian that are being reissued by Tarcher/Putnam. Moving beyond the scholasticism and rationalism that have long cloaked Aquinas Fox reveals a passionate prophetic and mystical celebrator of the blessings of creation. In this compelling epic work Fox writes as "a late twentieth-century citizen deeply concerned about the way our species is treating the Earth our young women the poor our bodies and our souls." He speaks with St. Thomas Aquinas in a modern forum questioning the saint about the Four Paths of creation spirituality and the responses are culled from Aquinass works including pieces never before translated into English.
