Garrigou-Lagrange: Reality

Recommended reading: 
Reality: A Synthesis of Thomistic Thought by Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange

Garrigou-Lagrange's Reality is a veritable tour de force of Thomistic thought.

Book description: "Dominican Garrigou-Lagrange was one of the most prominent Thomistic neo-Scholastic theologians of the early and mid-twentieth century. This volume is his attempt to summarize a philosophical and theological worldview by interpreting the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas and his successors: Reality is seen in light of the central doctrines of the Trinity, of Creation, and of the Incarnation of the Son as Jesus Christ, in Whom humankind is drawn into the intimacy of the inner life of the Triune God. Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange argues on behalf of 24 Thomistic Theses, which he presents as a lens through which to view salvation, the Sacraments, the Mother of the Redeemer, and the spiritual life whereby the divine image is restored in the soul. This work is of interest to any who wish to enhance their understanding of the Catholic theological tradition through an acquaintance with this major and often controversial figure."
