Thomas Joseph White, OP is associate professor of systematic theology, Dominican House of Studies
“Provides excellent insight into how Christology would be manifest
through the lenses of Thomas Aquinas. He does this by looking at
central themes in Christology, giving particular attention to the
hypostatic union, the two natures of Christ, the knowledge and
obedience of Jesus, the passion and death of Christ, Christ’s
descent into hell, and the resurrection. In each of these sections,
White provides excellent analysis and synthesis enabling the reader
to understand how Thomas Aquinas might view them.” – Catholic
Library World
“A masterful and coherent vindication of Aquinas's Christology in
the context of the diverse claims of modern christologies… The
immense importance of this work lies principally in the fact that
it can benefit not only Thomists, but anyone committed to serious
theological reflection on the Scriptural witness to Jesus Christ.”
– New Blackfriars
“A significant piece of systematic theology. White demonstrates his
outstanding credentials as an interpreter of Thomas in particular
and of the Catholic tradition as a whole, and makes for a useful
dialogue partner for Protestant theologians who may find certain
modern critiques less problematic than White, and who prefer to
engage the deconstructive efforts of Enlightenment and
post-Enlightenment thought by means other than the retrieval of
another era.” – Modern Theology
“This ambitious and spirited book presents Thomist Christology as a
universal panacea for a cluster of what its author takes to be
debilitating weaknesses in recent Christology.” - Theology
“This closely reasoned and clearly written collection of essays
presents an invaluable perspective upon many of the crucial issues
debated in contemporary Christology. As one would expect, White
shows an intimate familiarity with the thought of Aquinas. But he
has also read carefully and deeply in modern and contemporary
Christologies.” – Theological Studies
“Clear, receptive, unhurried, irenic, and encyclopedic…uniquely
valuable and pleasurable to read. White gives us a complete and
definitive treatment of the issues concerned; his book will become
the standard reference for decades to come.” – The Heythrop Journal
