Aquinas’ Concept of God
Continuing ruler of nature God is the primary cause of all that
happens but there are secondary causes through He works.
God works through natural causes, governs the world through angels, and acts directly through miracles.

The role of humanity
Man is the center of the cosmic drama; nature is subordinate.
History = Creation, Covenant, Christ, Church, and Consummation
All nature serves humanity and humanity serves God.
