Idea stworzenia in statu viae u Tomasza z Akwinu i Thomasa Talbotta Thomas Talbott, ewangelicki profesor filozofii i uniwersalista, swoim dziele zatytułowanym The Inescapable Love of God (wyd. 1999 r.), odpowiada Michaelowi Murray’owi, który, zakładając uniwersalistyczną powszechność zbawienia, zadaje następujące pytanie: Dlaczego Bóg nie stworzył nas wszystkich ab initio w stanie ostatecznym w niebie? W artykule zostanie porównana odpowiedź Talbotta na pytanie postawione przez Murraya z nauczaniem św. Tomasza z Akwinu, który wyjaśnia, dlaczego Raj był właściwym miejscem dla ludzi przed grzechem pierworodnym. W ten sposób zostaną ukazane podobieństwa i różnice w rozumowaniu Akwinaty i Talbotta. Posłuży to do wykazania, że argumentacja Doktora Anielskiego jest wciąż użyteczna i aktualna we współczesnych debatach.

the Galatians leads all Christians to constantly looking at the Christ, especially the crucified,
who reveals the authentic meaning of freedom, the fruit of God’s saving action.
St. Thomas Aquinas, commenting on this letter, notes that human freedom is realized
through union with Christ. In addition, he notes that Christian teachings present to
a believer the prospect of living in a relationship of love with God and another man.
It is an unique elevation of the dignity of creation and perfect revelation of God’s mercy.
Through the grace and mercy exceeding the strict measure of justice, sinners are capable
of relationship with another man in the image of God.
St. Paul wrote: „For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty. […] by love serve
one another” (Gal 5, 13). St. Thomas, in the aforementioned commentary, stresses very
strongly that the mentioned gift, making freedom real, is love. This truth is revealed
especially by the Christ on the cross, who with love (serving God and people) took
on the sins of the whole world (cf. Phil 2, 6-11) and, in his innocence, let himself to be
killed because of them, so that sinners may live in freedom.
The article outlines the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on Christian liberty, on the
basis of his commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians. In this way, it shows the enduring
topicality of the thought of Aquinas, presenting it against some of the philosophical
currents of thought which occurred in the history after the death of the Angelic Doctor,
and comparing it with the Church’s teachings in papal encyclicals from the end of the
twentieth century.
