The book titled The Problem of Charity for Self: A Study of Thomistic and Modern Theological Discussion by Teresa Mary DeFerrari is a comprehensive study of the concept of charity and its relation to the self. The author examines the theological perspectives of Thomas Aquinas and modern theologians on the topic of charity for self. The book is divided into four parts. The first part introduces the concept of charity and discusses its importance in Christian theology. The second part focuses on the Thomistic perspective on charity, examining Aquinas's understanding of charity and its relation to the self. The third part explores modern theological discussions on charity for self, including the works of Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Bernard Lonergan. The final part of the book provides a synthesis of the Thomistic and modern perspectives on charity for self. DeFerrari argues that charity for self is not a contradiction in terms, but rather an essential aspect of Christian spirituality. She suggests that a balanced understanding of charity for self can lead to a deeper relationship with God and a more authentic expression of love for others. Overall, The Problem of Charity for Self is a thought-provoking and insightful study of an important theological concept. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Christian theology, as well as anyone interested in exploring the relationship between self-love and Christian charity.Catholic University Of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
