Toward a Thomist Methodology (Toronto Studies in Theology)

By Joyce A. Little

A study that seeks to challenge the fundamental assumption of traditional Thomism that the esse/essence distinction drawn by St Thomas Aquinas lies within the domain of philosophy (nature) rather than theology (grace). The author asserts that Thomas himself supposed the substantial correlation of esse and essence to be natural, thereby relegating grace to the role of accident.
