An elementary christian metaphysics
Book • 1963
Joseph Owens' 'An Elementary Christian Metaphysics' presents core Thomistic metaphysical doctrines for a modern audience, aiming to show how classical metaphysics coheres with Christian theological commitments.
Owens develops the principles of act and potency, being and essence, and the metaphysical grounding for theological claims.
The book is pedagogical, intended to introduce readers to Christian metaphysical thinking rooted in Thomas Aquinas while engaging contemporary philosophical concerns.
Owens emphasizes the possibility of a philosophically rigorous metaphysics consonant with faith, arguing against the idea that philosophy must be entirely subordinated to special revelation.
The work is often recommended for those seeking a clear, systematic entry into Thomistic metaphysics.
