Episode description

I recorded an interview with Dr. Gaven Kerr O.P. who is a lay Dominican. He's written an outstanding new book on Aquinas and Creation. It's definitely an academic work, but Dr. Kerr explains the thought of Aquinas clearly and systematically. 

Topics covered:

- An overview of the book

- The Agent of Creation

- The Meaning of Creation

- How can we analyze creation in terms of the four causes?

- Does creation threaten divine immutability? 

- Does God's creation threaten creaturely freedom?

- Kerr's analysis of what he calls Aquinas' proof in the De Ente

- Discussion of the controversy over whether Aquinas proves God in the De Ente (cf. Wippel and Owens)
