Biography
Mark Edwards has been Tutor in Theology at Christ Church, Oxford, and University Lecturer in Patristics for the Faculty of Theology (now Theology and Religion) since 1993. Since 2014, he has held the title Professor of Early Christian Studies. His books include Neoplatonic Saints (2000), Origen against Plato (2002), Culture and Philosophy in the Age of Plotinus (2006), Image, Word and God in the Early Christian Centuries (2012) and Religions of the Constantinian Empire (2015).
"Scholars of early Christian theology owe a debt of gratitude to Edwards for shining a light on the traces of Aristotle’s philosophical legacy in late antique Christianity. Of the book’s many achievements, the most welcome may be its simultaneous affirmation of the power of the Christian perspective and dismantling of the unqualified assertion that Platonism was the sole source of pagan philosophy upon which early Christians drew. In this way, Edwards’ study joins a contiguous body of scholarship exploring how early Christians also adapted Stoicism."
-Alexander H. Pierce, Reading Religion"Bonino’s book constitutes a major accomplishment. It is no doubt the most important and comprehensive commentary on Aquinas’s treatment of the divine attributes written in quite some time. Anyone interested in medieval philosophy and theology generally, in the study of Aquinas specifically, or in the viability of Thomism as a living tradition of thought will profit greatly from reading this book."
-Thomas Joseph White, O.P, The Thomist
