Brian Davies offers the first in-depth study of Saint Thomas
Aquinas's thoughts on God and evil, revealing that Aquinas's
thinking about God and evil can be traced through his metaphysical
philosophy, his thoughts on God and creation, and his writings
about Christian revelation and the doctrines of the Trinity and the
Incarnation.
Davies first gives an introduction to Aquinas's philosophical
theology, as well as a nuanced analysis of the ways in which
Aquinas's writings have been considered over time. For hundreds of
years scholars have argued that Aquinas's views on God and evil
were original and different from those of his contemporaries.
Davies shows that Aquinas's views were by modern standards very
original, but that in their historical context they were more
traditional than many scholars since have realized.
Davies also provides insight into what we can learn from Aquinas's
philosophy. Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil is a clear and engaging
guide for anyone who struggles with the relation of God and
theology to the problem of evil.
