Book Synopsis
Examines Albert the Great's reading of The Book of Causes with an eye toward two questions: How does Albert view the relation between faith and reason, so that he can identify creation from nothing with emanation from God? And how does he understand Platonism and Aristotelianism, so that he can avoid the misreadings of his fellow theologians?

Trade Review

“This relatively short, but amply footnoted, work is written in the light of an exhaustive bibliography, and with a meticulous care in establishing the best provisional text of Albert’s commentary on the Liber de causis.” —Journal of Ecclesiastical History

* Journal of Ecclesiastical History *

“A study of an ‘Aristotelian paraphrase’ by the 13th-century German Scholastic philosopher and saint Albert Magnus.” —The Chronicle of Higher Education
