This
book does some philosophy of religion. It takes
as its point of departure what Aquinas calls divine truth (veritas divina),
i.e., the collection of truths revealed to man by God. And it tries to make
as clear as possible what Aquinas says about some of these revealed truths.
Then it agrees or disagrees with what he says, as needed, for reasons of
various sorts, whether philosophical, theological, scientific, historical,
etc. – of whatever sort, just so long as they are relevant and cogent;
to do these things as well as possible, if only in a small way – pro
nostro modulo, as Aquinas puts it, in describing what he intends to do as
the author of the Summa Contra Gentiles. Veritas Divina includes not only
certain truths which are attainable by natural reason, like truths about
certain aspects of the virtue of religion, of prayer, of pain and suffering,
of friendship, of death; but also certain truths which are not attainable
by natural reason, like truths about the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Eucharist,
Purgatory, Heaven, Hell. |
