xii, 145 pages ; 22 cm. "The prince and master of all Scholastic doctors," Thomas Aquinas has profoundly impacted thinkers both inside and outside the Roman Catholic Church for more than eight hundred years. Scott Oliphint's unique study focuses on Aquinas's dualistic approach to the natural and revealed knowledge of God and his use of Aristotelian metaphysics. Oliphint provides a response to this methodology in the context of historic Reformed thought and the doctrines of revelation and Scripture. Pastors, theologians, philosophers, and students will benefit from Oliphint's clear, precise, and succint analysis -- as well as from his forceful critique. -- Introduction -- Foundation of knowledge: Reason and Revelation -- The problem of self-evidence -- Epistemology and metaphysics -- Preambula Fidei -- Critique -- Foundation of Existence: Proofs of God's Existence -- Who God is -- Critique -- Conclusion K.
