This site is part of the natural religion project The natural religion project A new theology A commentary on the Summa The theology company
Introduction
Thomas Aquinas structured his Summa Theologiae as a tree of questions, beginning with the fundamental theological question, does god exist? I enjoy reading the Summa, and so this section of the site is modelled on the Summa, asking a similar tree of questions as another way to communicate my picture of the divine world.
This part is a loose commentary on the Summa, suggesting an alternative model of the god and the past and future of the world. here we do this by showing where we agree and where we disagree from this classical treatise on the economy of salvation.
Our basic hypothesis is that the universe is divine, god is visible, and so we can work toward an empirically verified theology. Here salvation does not mean some hypothetical post mortem state, but the process of managing our affairs in the world in a way that maximises the probability of peace and health in human affairs.
In what follows, we reinterpret the classical thelogy in the light of this hypothesis.
