This book provides a critical study of the main Christian doctrines as understood and explained by Thomas Aquinas. The whole Thomistic revival of the last century focused almost exclusively on Aquinas as the Christian philosopher. Thus books and articles developed his understanding of being, his epistomology, natural theology, etc. However little has been done, even to this day, by way of examining Aquinas' teaching on the major Christian doctrines. This book of essays by an international team of recognised scholars will help fill this gap. Such a book will be indispensable in every theological library.

Aquinas on Doctrine:: A Critical Introduction
I absolutely loved reading Bockmuehl's book, and yet, it is not without it's drawbacks. The content is excellent. The structure makes little sense to me at all.
As I see it, the book has two major aims: critique modern biblical studies, and appeal for a renewed commitment to theological readings. This commitment should mirror the nature of reading the New Testament for its first readers.
All of this is covered phenomenally well in the first 2/3 of the book. 4 stars, maybe 5. However, then in the final 1/3 of the book Bockmuehl enters into a discussion on the Jewish background of Jesus - all good, to be sure, really containing the best exegesis of the entire book - but this section seems almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the book. I have been unable to make sense of exactly how the sections of the book work for a common purpose, or what the title of the book has to do with the arguments contained within.
I loved much of the content, but I'm not sure I'm entirely clear on the purpose of the whole.
