The Reformed world is witnessing a surge in interest in the works of Thomas Aquinas, a prominent figure in Roman Catholic theology.

This trend, known as Reformed Thomism, aims to integrate Aquinas' philosophical insights into the Reformed theological framework.

However, this movement has ignited debate within the Reformed community, with some expressing concerns that embracing Aquinas' philosophy could lead to a departure from core Reformed principles and potentially draw the Reformed community closer to Roman Catholicism.

This video will examine the arguments for and against the retrieval of Aquinas, exploring the historical and theological context of this movement, and its potential implications.

Key topics covered include:

Natural Theology: Examining the differences between the Roman Catholic and Reformed understandings of natural theology.

Nature and Grace: Analyzing the contrasting perspectives on the relationship between nature and grace in Roman Catholic and Reformed thought.

Original Sin: Exploring the implications of the different views on original sin and total depravity.

Pure and Mixed Articles: Clarifying the distinction between pure and mixed articles from both Roman Catholic and Reformed perspectives.

The Beatific Vision: Discussing the concept of the beatific vision and its implications for the Reformed understanding of salvation.

Colossians 2:8: Addressing the interpretation of Colossians 2:8 and its relevance to the debate on philosophy.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the complexities of Reformed Thomism and its potential impact on the Reformed church today.
