Sheila Hodges’s Reviews > Aquinas: A Beginner's Guide > Status Update

I’ve decided to read the physical book. While reading, I’ve been praying to God and asking him to allow me to only understand things about himself that he wishes me to understand. It’s just so bizarre how he continues to answer this prayer of mine and guide me towards people and materials that teach me about himself & about myself. It’s all just such a blessing. When you ask, he gives you so many gems. 💎

Things I’m currently learning about: final causality, the essence & existence of God, and whether the essence of angels is universal or individual.

I like how the books builds up on previous topics. It helps renforce things I may not have fully understood when they were first mentioned.

I started listening to the audiobook of this during my walk today. There is so much that I never considered/have taken the time to think about. The overall link between metaphysics and theology that Aquinas makes is verrryyyy interesting.
