Ch.IV. Q.18. Theology Proper

THEOLOGY PROPER is that part of Positive Dogmatics which is concerned with the doctrine of God — His existence, nature, attributes, subsistence, and operations.1

2. The following order will be observed in these outlines: (a) Theism; or the teaching of nature concerning God. (b) Anti-theistic theories. (c) Revelation. (d) The quiescent attributes; or the nature of God. (e) The active attributes. (f) The Trinity. (g) Divine economy or the external operations of God.


1 The doctrine of God at large may be studied in St. Thos., Summa Theol., Pt. I.; Owen, Dog. Theol., ch. iv.-vii.; Schouppe, Elem. Theol. Dog., Tracts v., vi.; Suarez, Compend., Tom. I.; Weidner, Theologia; and, best of all, Wilhelm and Scannell, Manual of Cath. Theol., Bk. II. Roman literature is rich in this subject, Anglican literature is largely unsystematic and fragmentary, with some notable studies of particular topics.
