Reviews

A tour de force of historical scholarship on Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic tradition. Anyone possessed of an innate appetite and natural desire for Aquinas's thought and medieval theology will reap large profits from perusing this magnum opus. - Catholic Review of Books; Wood's mastery of the Thomistic source material, as well as his thorough-going familiarity of the commentarial tradition, makes his thesis a compelling one and one which perhaps pours some cooling water on a theological firestorm that looks as though it could flare up again in this century. This book will likely be at the center of scholarly debate around the natural desire for the supernatural for some time to come. - Reviews in Religion and Theology; Wood explicitly undertakes what Thomas himself did almost 800 years ago: an 'update' to questions that were as valid then for the believing Christian as they are now. The update emerges as a successful and convincing 'follow-up' to Aquinas's solution in its method, objectivity, and aims. - Theologische Revue
