As I’ve mentioned in my last few posts, I’ve been on a bit of a Catholic reading kick over the last couple of weeks. Much of this reading has centered on Thomas Aquinas and his thought, particularly his Triune metaphysics. One thing I love about Aquinas (among others) is how he interweaves faith and reason as two valid and complementary means of knowing, rather than the modernist (and false) dichotomy that is often posited between them. Of course, my Wesleyan tradition is far more amenable to a synthesis of faith and reason than many other Protestant traditions. So to any Lutheran or Reformed readers, I apologize if my love of Aquinas grates upon you. That being said, here is a great video on the positive impact Aquinas’s thought on faith and reason has had on the world.
