1. Aquinas's Way To God
The Summa Theologiae and the Life of Reason
The book reconstructs and defends Thomas Aquinas’s strategy for attaining knowledge of God, showing how his metaphysical principles (act and potency, causal series, and analogical predication) ground natural arguments that yield genuine yet limited knowledge of the divine; it explains how these philosophical demonstrations fit within a theological context in which revelation and grace complete what reason can attain. The study clarifies the role of analogy in speaking about God, addresses objections to demonstrative theology, and draws out the contemporary significance of the medieval synthesis for debates about faith and reason.
