Wait and see...

You might have noticed that I havent' been commenting directly on what McInerny has been saying in the First Glance book. McInerny has been describing Aquinas' basis for the unvierse, the existence of God, matter, souls, etc. You would think that I would have a lot to say on the topic and I do, but I'm biting my tongue because he's still referring to everything in terms of why Aquinas thought Aristotle got it right and establishes a basis of a lot of Aquinas's thought. I am hoping he goes beyond this and starts talking about why this is all applicable given our current understanding of matter, energy, and the interchangeable nature of both. I suspect I will be disappointed because this is after all a survey of Aquinas' work and not a modern understanding of it. That said, McInerny seems to indicate that everything that Aquinas says is in fact the Truth. If this is so, theology is on a very shaky foundation.
