God Conquers

Out of these, I choose the Subtle Doctor.

Almost entirely based on his name. Although I love the way he argues about immanence.

Ephrem Augustine

It is worth noting that St. Bonaventure integrated more of Augustinian thought into his theology, out of those listed.

Laudate_Dominum

I'm surprised that Duns Scotus made the list...sure, he was beatified, so his works can't be condemned...I've just never been comfortable with him. He seems to have provided the groundwork for nominalism and, ultimately, Protestantism.

Sounds like the tiresome old diss on Ockham and to assert such a thing of Scotus strikes me as most absurd. Scotus was as much a realist as Aquinas and many Popes have given mad props the this saintly man and his thought. I'd be happy if he were canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church. :smokey:

P.S. I voted other.

As far as recent theologians are concerned . . . I like Fr. Meyendorff, Fr. Florovsky, and Dr. Aristeides Papadakis.

Marie-Therese

My initial response was Jesus. :mellow:

John of the Cross and Theresa of Avila

I agree, my spirituality is Carmelite and so I tend to gravitate toward the Carmelite saints' writings. Numero uno on that list is St. Therese. :)

de Sales is pretty awesome. ^_^
[/quote]

I agree there, too. I love the Salesian/Visitandine philosophies.

L_D, can you recommend some works by him (or by others about him and his works) that could help me understand his philosophy better? The Franciscans of the Immaculate are quite fond of him, so since finding that out, I have wanted to give him a chance; however, I think I have been given a somewhat "tainted" perspective of him as I was taught Bl. Scotus was basically a pre-cursor to Ockham. (Sadly, several Sisters and priests in my community did not think very highly of his philosophy... I never quite got a full understanding of why -- just that Ockham-connection on nominalism. :sweat: )
