Thomas Aquinas Study Circle

"It is because the contemporary alternatives seem so one-sided and are not more evidently solutions to the problems which Thomas faced, and partly solved, that we return to him and to the tradition of theology and philosophy in which his Summa Theologiae appears: theology as the science of the first principle and this as the total knowledge of reality in its unity." -- Wayne J. Hankey, God in Himself (Oxford University Press, 1987), p.159.

Q23: Predestination

  1. Is predestination suitably attributed to God?
  2. What is predestination, and does it place anything in the predestined?
  3. Does the reprobation of some men belong to God?
  4. The comparison of predestination to election; that is, are the predestined chosen?
  5. Are merits the cause or reason of predestination, or reprobation, or election?
  6. The certainty of predestination: will the predestined infallibly be saved?
  7. Is the number of the predestined certain?
  8. Can predestination be furthered by the prayers of the saints?
