An Elementary Christian Metaphysics

About this book

Joseph Owens' An Elementary Christian Metaphysics is a foundational exploration of metaphysical principles through the lens of Christian philosophy. Rooted in the Thomistic tradition, Owens presents a clear and systematic introduction to the nature of being, the structure of reality, and the relationship between existence and essence.

 

Designed for students and scholars alike, the book methodically examines key metaphysical concepts, including substance, causality, potentiality, and actuality. Owens carefully integrates classical philosophical insights, particularly from Aristotle and Aquinas, with Christian theological perspectives, demonstrating how metaphysics provides a rational foundation for understanding God, creation, and the human soul.

 

 With precise argumentation and accessible explanations, An Elementary Christian Metaphysics serves as an essential guide for those seeking a deeper grasp of metaphysical inquiry within a Christian framework. It remains a valuable resource for philosophy students, theologians, and anyone interested in the enduring questions of existence, knowledge, and divine reality.
