55Faith and Reason in the Wake of Milbank and PickstockInternational Philosophical Quarterly 48 (3): 381-396. 2008.In Truth in Aquinas, John Milbank and Catherine Pickstock attempt to render a “radically orthodox” reading of Aquinas that rejects an autonomous realm of natural reason unaided by faith.

Truth Beloved: Thomas Aquinas and the Relational TranscendentalsDissertation, University of Notre Dame. 2000.The doctrine of the transcendentals is a prominent feature of medieval thought. Briefly stated, this doctrine asserts that "being" has certain properties, including unity, truth and goodness.
