The “Thomist Tradition” Series

An American publishing house Cluny Media, issuing books of the Catholic intellectural and cultural tradition, recently started the „Thomist Tradition” series, where classic works in this field are published anew. These books are supplemented with extensive introductions, explaining the context of their origin and showing their relevance for contemporary philosophy and theology. The works are also reedited and a number of footnotes are added in order to help the readers to understand their content.

So far two books in the series has been published:

1. Thomas C. O’Brien OP, Metaphysics and the Existence of God (2017; first issued in 1960);

2. Joseph Clifford Fenton, What Is Sacred Theology? (2018; first issued in 1941).

Currently in preparation are books by Thomas U. Mullaney and Walter R. Farrell (Natural Law and Human Freedom: Thomistic Investigations) and by Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange (The Eucharist and The Theological Virtues).

The editor of the series is Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. – a doctoral student in moral theology at the Fribourg University. He co-authored a book with Romanus Cessario, O.P.: Thomas and the Thomists: The Achievement of Thomas Aquinas and His Interpreters (Fortress Press 2017). Online you may find a video of his presentation The Bible and Morality: Aquinas on the Natural Law of the last-year’s conference Towards a Biblical Thomism.
