Ep. #100 - Divine Simplicity & the Holy Trinity w/ Fr. White O.P.

What are the historical and theological bases for the doctrine of divine simplicity? How do Trinitarian affirmations relate to divine simplicity? What are the highlights of Aquinas' presentation of the doctrine of divine simplicity? How can God be both triune and absolutely simple? Does the doctrine of the Holy Trinity have any application to our lives as believers? Fr. Thomas Joseph White O.P. joins me to discuss these questions and more. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support
