Description

Saint Thomas Aquinas is often regarded as one of the most Catholic figures in Christian history. In "Never Doubt Thomas", Francis Beckwith explores the significance of Aquinas for both Catholics and Protestants, challenging common misconceptions about Thomist traditions. Beckwith examines Aquinas' views on natural law and natural theology, arguing that his presentation of these concepts assumes some of the inadequacies criticized by Protestant scholars. He also discusses Aquinas' preambles of faith, which allow followers of different religions to worship the same God while adhering to distinct faiths. The author ultimately turns to Aquinas' doctrine of creation and justificatory theology, questioning theories of Intelligent Design and exploring what it means for Aquinas to be considered an Evangelical.
