Abstract
Hutter, professor at Duke University, positions himself within the new wave of neo-Thomism, including others such as Romanus Cessario, Thomas Joseph White, Lawrence Feingold, and Steven A. Long. This book is a loosely connected series of essays that seeks to advance the argument that Thomas Aquinas is the common doctor of the Catholic Church, and that neo-Thomism is the privileged way of doing theology in the service of "an overdue theological renewal after a dire period of pervasive theological fragmentation and disorientation" (5). H.'s work here presents an accessible introduction to this school of thought, while at the same time evidencing its main weaknesses.
