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)
