Second Vatican Council, Dei Verbum & Lumen Gentium

  1. Would a 1948 Random House printing of Pegis's "Introduction to Thomas Aquinas" be acceptable for the course? It's been a treasure of my bookshelf for years.

    I ask this merely theoretically, as I'm stuck in New York and wouldn't be able to go to Dallas.

  6. Patrick,

    As far as I know the Pegis anthology hasn't substantially changed (pun intended) since it was first printed. The introductory material has probably been edited and revised, but I don't think the contents have been altered.
