Marco Antonio Andreacchio

Medieval Teachers of Freedom (eBook, ePUB)

Boethius, Peter Lombard and Aquinas on Creation from Nothing

Produktbeschreibung

Medieval debates over "divine creation" are systematically obscured in our age by the conflict between "Intelligent Design" Creationists and Evolutionists. The present investigation cuts through the web of contemporary conflicts to examine problems seated at the heart of medieval talk about creation.
