Another update on the activities of Father Leo Elders

In September of last year, we informed you on the activities of Father Leo Elders s.v.d. Since then, a lot has happened.
In the Fall of 2011, he started rewriting and revising his 1992 introduction to Thomas Aquinas. The book has been entirely updated and expanded and will be published shortly in the revived series 'Studia Rodensia' of the Major Seminary Rolduc under the title: Thomas van Aquino. Een inleiding tot zijn leven en denken.

This Fall will also see the publication of his monograph on education and instruction in the thought of Thomas Aquinas under the title: "Éducation et instruction selon saint Thomas d'Aquin", Parole et Silence, 2012.
