Quodlibet IV

Abstract

This chapter presents Thomas Aquinas’s Quodlibet IV, which dates from his second Parisian regency (the second time Aquinas functioned as a master in Paris). It contains Aquinas’s answers to questions about divine things and personal things. Specifically, the questions deal with: God’s knowledge: Does God have multiple ideas?; God’s power: Does God have power? Are there waters above the heavens?; the extent of God’s power; the son’s divine nature; the son’s assumed nature; grace; the sacraments of grace; human acts related to superiors and prelates; human acts related to the intellect; the act of martyrdom; evil acts; and the religious life.
