A DISCOURSE ON GOD AND THEISTIC VIEWS OF THE WORLD

 

Introduction

The philosophy of theism reached one of its high points of expression in the Middle Ages. The work of the great theologians and philosophers of that period (e.g., Thomas Aquinas and Maimonides) gave doctrinal expression to a culture dominated and permeated by religion in its Judeo-Christian form. It was a period in which some of the great cathedrals were built and in which Dante’s Divine Comedy was written. It is true, of course, that some aspects of the philosophy of theism had their antecedents among the Greeks.
