Thank you for responding, and sorry for taking so long to reply.  

Yeah, I'm more interested in metaphysics and natural theology rather than semiotics or ethics.  What suggestions would you have in the way of metaphysics and natural theology?

Hey all!

This upcoming summer, I will be taking a guided readings course as a part of my master's degree program.  My institution spends perhaps a bit too much time on Thomas Aquinas and not enough on how Thomism can speak to contemporary philosophical debates.  What I'm wondering is if there is a list of resources which you recommend that offer a critical response to the challenges posited by contemporary debate.  Obviously, the course would involve readings directly from contemporary authors themselves but I'm trying to discern which authors I ought to focus on and works which address those authors from a Thomistic standpoint. I'm looking for both academic articles and books.

Right now, here is what I've put together:

Real Essentialism by David Oderberg
The Existentialists by James Collins
Contemporary Philosophy And Thomistic Principles
Bandas, Rudolph G.​ (Available on Amazon with TOC, I'm not allowed to post links yet, apparently)

The Bandas book is interesting because it is a bit more comprehensive and systematic whereas most of the other works I've found (there are more under consideration) are more topical.  If you happen to be aware of more works by Thomists which systematically approach contemporary philosophy then I would be most appreciative. 

Many, many thanks!

Hello all!

I live with my wife and son in Minnesota, I'm a fully time youth minister with a few side jobs because...youth ministry.
In 2016, I graduated from the Augustine Institute with a master's degree in theology and I'm currently working towards a master's degree in philosophy from Holy Apostles with the intention of continuing my education into the world of doctorate studies.

God bless!
