On Epistemology to Understand Thomas Aquinas’ Immutable God. (2026). Orientis Aura: Perspectives in Religious Studies, 10. https://journals.usj.edu.mo/index.php/orientisaura/article/view/236

Abstract

Modern people understand immutable God on subjective view such that they would wonder whether God cannot understand human feelings. Since Jürgen Moltmann proposes suffering God, this paper conducts dialogue between Moltmann’s view and Aquinas’ view. The arguments involve God and human being relationship and their mutual understanding. Epistemology is the key point for discussion.

 

Key words:  Thomas Aquinas, Summa, immutable God, suffering God.
