About Divine Causality And Human Free Choice: Domingo
Review "Matava effectively shows how introducing the creative causality of God into the discussion of God's action and human freedom can at once preserve divine transcendence, show that God is unlike creatures, and ground the doctrine of primary and secondary causality. He clearly reveals the fundamental mistakes of Bañez and Molina in the Controversy de Auxiliis. Matava also suggests how the issues surrounding the Controversy may have significant implications for fostering ecumenism, deepening Christian spirituality, addressing modern atheism, and understanding more general contemporary conundrums about causality. His work will be of great value not only for those concerned with the question of God and human freedom but for all who are interested in the nature of divine action." Michael J. Dodds OP, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology inAmerican Catholic Philosophical Quarterly Vol. 92 (2018), No. 4 pp. 714-717. (doi: 10.5840/acpq2018924163) [The reader] "is masterfully guided through the "battlefield" of one of theology's most exciting controversies. After reading this book, one better understands why the controversies on grace were the last time Catholic theology held the center stage in a worldwide intellectual debate." Ulrich L. Lehner, Marquette University. In: Theological Studies, Vol. 78, No. 3 (2017), p. 789. Product Description R.J. Matava explains physical premotion as defended by Báñez in the Controversy de Auxiliis. Finding the critiques of Báñez and Molina convincing, Matava argues for an alternative rooted in Aquinas’s teaching on creation. About the Author R.J. Matava, Ph. D. (2010), St. Andrews, is Assistant Professor of Theology at Christendom College. He was a research fellow at the Center for Medieval Philosophy, Georgetown University and the Liddon Fellow in Theology at Keble College, University of Oxford.
