‘Divine Ideas,’ with Dr. Thomas M. Ward
Thomas Ward explains the theory of Divine Ideas to Matt and Derek.
If all being originates in God, and God is One, how can there be many beings? This is just one of the questions that Dr. Thomas Ward discusses here with Matt and Derek, and in his book, Divine Ideas. Dr. Ward and Matt go way back. And Duns Scotus gets no fist bumps from Derek, even though he might be the hero of Divine Simplicity.
