Book Overview

This anthology volume explores the theme of freedom, covering a range of theological, metaphysical, ethical, and political debates from a broadly Thomistic perspective. Rather than a collection of standalone contributions (as is typical for AMA volumes), this anthology combines novel essays with penetrating commentaries from other distinguished Scholastic authors. Contributors: Heather Erb, James G. Hanink, Steven Jensen, Steven Long, Mirela Oliva, Hannah Woldum Ragusa, Alice Ramos, Walter Schultz, Michael D. Torre, and Nikolaj Zunic.
