The Univocal Conception of Being

Thomas Aquinas says God is not in any genus, not even the genus of being. That's an extraordinary thing to say, right? There's you and me and there's God, we're all beings. And he's not one being among many. So I always sense behind the great debates about justification and so on, is this fundamental shift from a non-competitive understanding of the divine human or divine creature relationship to a competitive one.
