Why Did Thomas Aquinas's Belief In The Existence Of God?

Thomas Aquinas was a Catholic priest who followed behind philosopher Aristotle; however, he did not view himself as a philosopher. He knew man could only be just that man, but how did we become that? He merely saw himself as a leader in the church whom needed to convince others the preaching of Christ was of importance, and that man had to begin somewhere. Aquinas was a Theologian whose main belief was there must be a beginning and end. He established the ideas of beginning and end in the form of questions. Thomas Aquinas breaks down the relationship of God and man, and questions why must one’s belief in something matter in “Summa Theogocia”. St. Thomas handles each question with deliberate, delicate, and precise detail, yet he still allows man to answer for himself those burning questions.

Part one concerns the existence of God and the creation. Part two establishes the purpose of man. Part three determines the incarnation and resurrection of Christ. Thomas Aquinas wants us to understand, not only for the churches sake, but to know why there has to be a beginning and an end. Why does a man’s belief matter, should one take another’s word for it, or shall one examine deeper with more intimate meaning such as St Thomas Aquinas did? With assistance in his question answer format, St. Thomas successfully describes the relationship between man and Christ, and how it is all possible. What is Thomas Aquinas proof in Summa Theologica? How were his questions determined, and how can we use his work in modern day living
