In So What’s New about Scholasticism? thirteen international scholars gauge the extraordinary impact of a religiously inspired conceptual framework in a modern society. The essays that are brought together in this volume reveal that Neo-Thomism became part of contingent social contexts and varying intellectual domains. Rather than an ecclesiastic project of like-minded believers, Neo-Thomism was put into place as a source of inspiration for various concepts of modernization and progress. This volume reconstructs how Neo-Thomism sought to resolve disparities, annul contradictions and reconcile incongruent, new developments. It asks the question why Neo-Thomist ideas and arguments were put into play and how they were transferred across various scientific disciplines and artistic media, growing into one of the most influential master-narratives of the twentieth century. Edward Baring, Dries Bosschaert, James Chappel, Adi Efal-Lautenschläger, Rajesh Heynickx, Sigrid Leyssen, Christopher Morrissey, Annette Mülberger, Jaume Navarro, Herman Paul, Karim Schelkens, Wim Weymans and John Carter Wood reconstruct a bewildering, yet decipherable thought-structure that has left a deep mark on twentieth century politics, philosophy, science and religion.

It is the will of God for every soul to be saved. The exodus of your consciousness out of the known and seen, into the unknown and the unseen. Be found in the arc when the flood of perversion reach its full momentum; get inside your human spirit. Let your consciousness be found covered in the Blood; enter into your arc, made and provided by God, hidden in flesh and bone, like the Son of man was hidden in flesh and bone. A new age is dawning upon man. The final battle is about the soul; a time of divine wisdom and discernment, beyond the world of human understanding and emotion; the weapons of our time are spiritual; only the spirit of man can overcome. A war-cry in the heavenlies, do you hear it? The final battle has just begun. Awake oh man of valor, for your time has come. Where are the generals? Where are the soldiers? Where's the watchman? Where are the warriors? Where are the kings? Where are the priests? Do you hear the drums in the distance, do you hear the rain, she's bringing the new sound, do you hear her coming, she carrying My heartbeat? Align o people of valor, awake and align, for the time has come!

I'm taking damage just existing in this lava level, I don't even wanna THINK of what'll happen if I get hurt for real...
