Abstract

Thomastic metaphysics has been often overlooked as a means of understanding Anglican Eucharistic theology because of St. Thomas’ association with Transubstantiation. However, Thomas’ method is not rejected by the Articles, merely his conclusion. When the Articles of Religion and the Summa Theologiae are read together, there is a notable amount of harmony which opens up the Articles to a more robust and incarnational exposition of sacramentology which is native to the exposition of early subscribers.
