Thomas Aquinas

Thomas von Aquin (1225–1274) war ein italienischer Dominikanermönch und scholastischer Theologe, der vor allem an den Universitäten in Paris und Neapel lehrte. Er steht für die systematische Verbindung von biblischer Offenbarung mit der Philosophie des Aristoteles sowie für den Grundsatz, dass Glaube und Vernunft einander ergänzen. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet sein Werk als Fundament der katholischen Dogmatik und Ethik, während Positionen wie seine Befürwortung der Todesstrafe für Häretiker historisch kritisch bewertet werden.
