Finally! Someone has put together a cogent critique of the present glut of re-packages of
TOB. I can definitely say that the more I heard of it, over the past few years, the more suspicious I became. Although, I could not put my finger on it, instinctively, I felt something was wrong. The author, at
novantiqua.com did just this. It is not a sweepingly, thorough critique, but it is foundational enough to raise a few red flags. Please do not mistake what I am saying. I am not suggesting that Pope
JPII's presentation was, in any way, heretical or misguided. I am, however, suggesting that the current rash of repackages take his presentation out of context. A word of caution, though, is warranted. The author is a
Thomist (therefore, Aristotelian) philosopher, so be prepared for a somewhat completed style. I thoroughly enjoyed the articles and propose that anyone who has similar feelings about the current
TOB rage will, likewise, enjoy them.
