The book has a lot of merit... The reasoning applied th these issues is closely spun, in the best analytic style, and also conscientiously persistent.

James McEvoy, American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly

With Aquinas on Friendship Daniel Schwartz has made a most impressive and unquestionably significant contribution not only to the recent philosophical and theological literature on friendship, but also to scholarship on Aquinas. The respect and care with which he explores key passages on friendship throughout the work of Aquinas results in a book that is a treasure for anyone interested in discovering that there is much more in Aquinas on friendship than his treatise on charity in the Summa Theologiae. Moreover, Schwartz's research demonstrates that one can find in Aquinas an understanding of friendship that is both immensely hopeful and comforting.

Paul J. Wadell, Modern Theology

Not only does this study ably present us with interactions with Aquinas's views on friendship, but it also suggests a number of points of contemporary resonance...a surprisingly stimulating book.

Philip McCosker, Theology, Ethics and Philosophy
