Este artigo investiga o modo como Santo Tomás de Aquino, na questão 48 da tertia pars da Summa theologiae, estuda o ato salvador de Jesus: sintetizando as expressões bíblicas em cinco categorias teológicas centrais, ele as relativiza (no sentido de que cada uma delas só faz sentido em relação com as outras) e dá certa preferência a uma delas, aquela que considera o agir salvador de Jesus ao modo de uma causa eficiente. Mas o que isso significa? Busca-se investigar também se, embora com sua linguagem típica do século XIII, esse texto tomasiano guarda ou não alguma atualidade para a soteriologia cristã.ABSTRACT: This article investigates the way Saint Thomas Aquinas studies the saving act of Jesus (at question 48 of his Summa theologiae, Tertia Pars). By sinthetizing the Biblical expressions in five central theological categories, he renders them relative because each only makes sense when related to the others, and he prefers that which considers the saving act of Jesus as an efficient cause. But, what does that mean? Finally, this article aims at finding out whether despite its typical 13th century language, this text of the Summa can be considered updated and important to Christian Soteriology.

This is a study of the two letters of Thomas More to Nicholas Wilson writ-ten while the two men were imprisoned in the Tower of London. The Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation illuminates the role of comfort and counsel in the two letters. An article of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa theologiae is used to probe More’s understanding of conscience in the letters.

Philosopher Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) embraced a quest for sanctity at the core of his vocation as a French Catholic intellectual. Known as an exponent of the teachings of Saint Thomas Aquinas, he also devoted considerable energies to the promotion of democracy and human rights, as well as the combat against antisemitism. Maritain has been lauded for his sometimes courageous attempts to eradicate anti-Jewish prejudice from the Christian conscience, though some prevailing interpretations oversimplify this thinker's motivations and ideas. Keeping in mind the historically-contingent and often ambivalent nature of philosemitism, this article analyzes Maritain's postwar writings on the Jewish Question and his interactions with Popes Pius XII and Paul VI, Anglican theologian James Parkes, Jewish historians Leon Poliakov and Jules Isaac, and fellow Catholic writers Paul Claudel and Francois Mauriac.

Abstract The first part of this essay argues that the very structure and ordering of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae manifests a departure from the typical theological position of his time regarding natural acquired virtues. Resting on a conviction that grace presupposes nature, Aquinas uniquely holds that natural virtues perfective of human nature can be acquired prior to grace, which can be elevated and incorporated by grace into the properly Christian life. The second part of this essay offers a case study of the virtue of patience that illustrates the argument of the first part of the paper.
