Philosophy of Religion

This ebook aims to elaborate on while it is understandable that the nature or definition (or indefinability) of religion might well be placed in some textbooks as the first of their questions, this is not the first question that deserves to be faced in the subject of the philosophy of religion.
The first questions to be asked in it come from the end of classical philosophical inquiry and are situated in the last part of metaphysics.
By rights, its first questions concern the existence and the nature of God, and God’s providence (in relation to free choice and evil) and power (in relation to natural events). For a Thomist, then, in the first part of the philosophy of religion, one is on quite familiar ground: it is simply the contemporary equivalent of what is elsewhere known as “natural theology”.
