Contested Theological Authority of Thomas Aquinas The Controversies Between Hervaeus Natalis and Durandus of St. Pourcain

Elizabeth Lowe offers a vivid illustration of how a major shift in the Dominican intellectual tradition occured. The adoption and eventual promotion of the teachings of Aquinas by the Order of Preachers ran counter to every other current running through the late thirteenth-century Church; most scholastics, the Dominican Order included, were wary of the his unconventional teachings. Despite this, the Dominican Order was propelled along their solitary via Thomae by conflicts between two groups of magistri: Aquinas's early Dominican followers and their more conservative neo-Augustinian brethren.Lowe, Elizabeth is the author of 'Contested Theological Authority of Thomas Aquinas The Controversies Between Hervaeus Natalis and Durandus of St. Pourcain' with ISBN 9780415943536 and ISBN 0415943531.
