Summa Theologica - 03 Pars Prima, Angels and the Six Days
'Summa Theologica - 03 Pars Prima, Angels and the Six Days' Summary
In *Pars Prima*, Aquinas delves into the nature of angels, exploring their existence, attributes, hierarchy, and roles in God's plan. He examines the angelic orders, their knowledge, and their influence on human affairs. He also explores the creation of the world, analyzing the events of the six days of creation as described in Genesis. Aquinas explores themes of light, darkness, the creation of man, and the concept of original sin. He utilizes philosophical arguments, particularly those of Aristotle, to support his theological conclusions. This section of the *Summa Theologica* is a cornerstone of Aquinas's thought, providing a profound and systematic understanding of creation, the nature of angels, and their relationship to human beings.Book Details
