Fr. Thomas Joseph White on BigThink
Posted by Fr. Gabriel Gillen, O.P. on September 02, 2009
Father Thomas Joseph White, O.P., a friar of the Province of St. Joseph and professor of theology at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., is newly featured on BigThink.com, an online video forum that describes itself as "a global forum connecting people and ideas." Co-founded by President Obama's economic advisor, former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers, BigThink features presentations by leading thinkers and practitioners in a broad range of fields, including science, economics, politics, arts & culture and now--for the first time--Catholic theology and philosophy.
Fr. White covers a broad range of topics: 1) St. Thomas Aquinas' vision of reason as a tool to demonstrate the existence of God; 2) the resurgence of interest in Thomism; 3) the proper public role of religion in a modern pluralist society; 4) on a new generation of young men choosing the priesthood; and 5) his personal heroes in the faith.
Please click on the video above to view Fr. White's entire presentation, or select the topics individually. Visitors to BigThink.com are encouraged to write comments and send links to others.
