Theological Treatises According to St. Thomas and the Salmanticenses - The Theological Virtues, the Incarnation, the Grace and Knowledge of Christ, Volume IV - Paulus a Conceptione

This fourth volume of Pablo de la Concepción's Theological Treatises crowns the series with a treatment of the theological virtues and the mystery of the Incarnation, presenting the summit of Thomistic dogmatic theology in the tradition of the Salmanticenses.

The first treatise examines the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity — the virtues by which the human person is elevated and ordered directly to God. De la Concepción treats their nature, acts, and objects with the precision characteristic of the Salmanticensian school.

The second treatise addresses the mystery of the Incarnation — the union of the divine and human natures in the one Person of Jesus Christ. Following St. Thomas, the author examines the hypostatic union, its properties, and its consequences with theological depth and clarity.

The third and fourth treatises turn to the grace and knowledge of Christ — the sanctifying grace of the soul of Christ, His infused and beatific knowledge, and the perfections of His human nature as assumed by the Word.

The fifth treatise examines the other things assumed by the Word in the Incarnation, completing the Christological treatment with thoroughness and fidelity to the Thomistic tradition.

Throughout, de la Concepción presents the mysteries of Christ with the rigor and clarity of the Salmanticenses, making this volume an essential theological reference within the Carmelite and Thomistic tradition.
