Aquinas in Dialogue cover

Written and edited by leading scholars in the field, this collection explores Aquinas’ continuing relevance to contemporary theology and his ability to enlighten inter- and intra-faith dialogue.


  • Explores Aquinas’ continuing relevance to contemporary theology.

  • Looks at how Aquinas illuminates dialogue both among Christians and between Christians and non-Christians today.

  • Written by both scholars of Aquinas and those who are actively involved in ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue.

  • Topics range from Aquinas and Eastern Orthodoxy to Aquinas and atheism.

  • Helps us to think rigorously about what is required to speak truthfully to people with different beliefs.

"Jim Fodor and Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt have assembled a series of well-crafted and tightly reasoned essays . . . (they) have done us a great service by reminding us, once again, of Thomas Aquinas's enduring relevance to the religious conversation."
The Thomist

"Aquinas in Dialogue brings together some of the most eminent of modern theological exponents of Aquinas's thought to show how Aquinas engages with traditions other than his own: Lutheranism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, analytic philosophy, and atheism."
