St. Thomas and the Incarnation

Join us as Dr. Prudlo discusses the place of the Incarnation in Thomas' theology, philosophy, and liturgical devotion!

Occasionally St. Thomas Aquinas is accused of doing theology without Christ.  This lecture seeks to situate St. Thomas in the context of his profoundly Incarnational focus, since Aquinas realized that the Incarnation of God changes the whole valence of human history. Dr. Prudlo will also be discussing how St. Thomas' deeply Incarnational perspective can speak to us today in terms of our struggles during the COVID pandemic by calling our attention to an embodied humanity; one created in the image of God and redeemed in Christ.
