Creation

Creation by St. Thomas Aquinas is a philosophical and theological work that explores the nature of God's creation. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the nature of creation and the second part explores the process of creation. In the first part, Aquinas argues that God is the ultimate cause of all things and that everything in the universe is dependent on God for its existence. He also discusses the concept of causation and distinguishes between the different types of causes, including efficient, material, formal, and final causes. In the second part, Aquinas explores the process of creation, including the creation of the world, the creation of human beings, and the role of angels in creation. He also discusses the concept of time and the relationship between God's eternal nature and the temporal nature of the universe. Throughout the book, Aquinas draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources, including Aristotle, Augustine, and the Bible. He presents a highly detailed and systematic account of creation, which has had a profound influence on Christian theology and philosophy. Overall, Creation by St. Thomas Aquinas is a classic work of medieval philosophy and theology that continues to be widely read and studied today. It offers a rich and complex account of the nature of God's creation, which remains relevant to contemporary debates in philosophy and theology.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophical Texts, by St. Thomas Aquinas .
