Initiation and Mystagogy in Thomas Aquinas

On what grounds could Aquinas’s interpretation of Isaiah be called
mystagogical? How does he account for growth in faith? What is Aquinas’s
conception of teaching? What does he say on the mystagogy of the Holy
Spirit? Can Aquinas help us understand the concept of sensus
fidei? What is the relationship between Aquinas and Pseudo-Dionysius
concerning mystical theology? How about baptism? How about moral
transformation? What can we say about the preaching of Aquinas? These
and other questions were discussed at the sixth international conference
of the Thomas Instituut te Utrecht (Tilburg University), held in
December 2018 in Utrecht. The conference was devoted to the theme of
Initiation and Mystagogy in Thomas Aquinas, a surprising and
challenging theme. A number of studies presented at this conference are
gathered together here in this volume. The essays address a wide array
of subjects and attest to a variety of perspectives, because of which
the volume is divided into four parts: (I) Scriptural, (II) Systematic,
(III) Sacramental and Moral, and (IV) Pastoral perspectives.
