Understanding Necessity in Aquinas' Theology

The chapter examines the concept of necessity in Aquinas' perspective, emphasizing that certain actions are seen as fitting rather than strictly necessary in accordance with God's intentions. It reflects on the necessity and fittingness of Christ's incarnation in relation to Original Sin, while also discussing ongoing scholarly debates on topics such as the historicity of Adam and Eve. The discussion extends to Aquinas' views on the integration of theology with other sciences for a more comprehensive understanding of truth.
