BOUND FOR BEATITUDE - A Thomistic Study in Eschatology and Ethics

"In this volume Hütter confidently engages a bewildering number of philosophical and theological viewpoints, both modern and contemporary. In so doing, the doctrine of Saint Thomas not only emerges all the more numinous, but Reinhard Hütter further solidifies his place as one of Saint Thomas's most reliable contemporary expositors."-Nova et Vetera
