Existential Thomism or Thomistic Existentialism?

Who Is the Future of Existential Thomism?
Finished writing a review of John F.X. Knasas’s Thomistic Existentialism & Cosmological Reasoning. Knasas has a distinctive—I think difficult—voice and it left me wondering: who in the younger generation might be carrying the torch for “Thomistic Existentialism”?

Interview with Tracey Rowland
CWR: Tracey Rowland's Guide Through the Catholic Academic "Zoo" by Carl E. Olson
"Theology is important because it is all about reasoning about the highest things. It is the one thing a person doesn’t want to get wrong in life because it affects one’s eternal destiny."

James Chastek has something somewhat relevant to my latest post: Objections to the possibility of Thomistic metaphysics.
Some abstracts for papers for the 31st Annual Conference of the Center for Medieval Studies, "The Metaphysics of Aquinas and its Modern Interpreters: Theological and Philosophical Perspectives," are available.
Is John Knasas still the most prominent proponent of existential Thomism?
It is not clear to me that the existential Thomists are so apart from the neo-Thomists (including the Aristotelian Thomists) with regards to their understanding of St. Thomas's metaphysics. But since I am barely a student of metaphysics, this is only a guess. I do not know if Ralph McInerny wrote anything about Maritain on this point of controversy. I do know the existential Thomists and Aristotelian Thomists differ as to whether metaphysics needs physics as a preparation in the order of learning. (Fr. Ashley's paper.) It has been a while since I took that undergraduate course in metaphysics, which was with an existential Thomist. It seems to me that for the class, we were simply taking it for granted that God existed because we were all believing Catholics. The act of faith replaced proof of God's existence. I'll have to look again at how Gilson, Maritain, and Knasas deal with this point.
