“On this thought-provoking episode, we welcome again Dr. Leonardo De Chirico, a number one Reformed evangelical theologian and pastor in Rome, for a consideration of the legacy and ongoing affect of Thomas Aquinas. Drawing from his current e-book, Partaking with Thomas Aquinas: An Evangelical Strategy (Apollos), Dr. De Chirico affords a vital but charitable appraisal of Aquinas’s theological structure and enduring influence on Roman Catholicism. Collectively, Camden and Leonardo discover key themes such because the Catholic Church’s twin nature—Roman and Catholic—the evolving function of Thomism throughout church historical past, and the tensions inside Roman Catholic thought on Vatican II and modernity. Listeners can even hear how Protestants have traditionally interacted with Aquinas and why an eclectic, biblically grounded engagement stays very important at this time. This episode affords not solely theological readability however pastoral knowledge for evangelicals navigating the complexities of custom, authority, and theological retrieval in a post-Reformation world. 00:07 Introduction 11:09 Partaking with Thomas Aquinas 17:53 Thomas Aquinas’s Lasting Affect 29:07 Approaching Thomas Critically 37:00 Thomas as an Architectural Thinker 41:46 A Protestant Perspective 53:54 5 Pointers for Evangelicals Partaking with Aquinas 58:53 Conclusion” from the video introduction
