The Ideal Bishop

Aquinas's Commentaries on the Pastoral Epistles
  • By Michael G. Sirilla
$44.29
Product Description

"Reading The Ideal Bishop, I think, will also encourage priests, seminarians, and laity to support their bishops through prayer and encouragement. It is an invaluable contribution to the Thomistic Resourcement Series published by CUA, the corpus of Thomistic studies, opening up and filling an important lacuna." - Heythrop Journal

"As Sirilla points out, many Thomistic studies on the role of the bishop have exclusively been written on the basis of Thomas's systematic works and have almost completely ignored his work on St. Paul's pastoral letters. Sirilla fills this lacuna by retrieving Thomas's robust understanding of the bishop's interior life and exterior life in the ideal order, an understanding largely forgotten by Thomists. Sirilla's presentation of the main lines of these commentaries can serve as an apt introduction to spur scholars to read the originals and better to prepare them for the challenge of studying the calling of a bishop... his ideas are golden. Truly, Sirilla has done the Church a fine service in showing theologians and clergy alike the spiritual doctrine hidden in this commentary of St. Thomas." - The Thomist
