Dominicans and the Challenge of Thomism

 

Last week the Dominicans in Poland organised a conference called: “Dominicans and the Challenge of Thomism”.

The Dominicans and the Challenge of Thomism Conference was an opportunity for younger Thomistic scholars to discover the depth and diversity of Thomistic inquiry in the Dominican Order today. The conference was a wonderful experience and pointed to a great future for Thomistic Theology in this millennium.

More information and recordings of the various papers can be found on the website of the conference.
