Norman Kretzmann expounds and criticizes Aquinas's theology of creation, which is `natural' (or philosophical) in that Aquinas developed it without depending on the data of Scripture. Because of the special importance of intellective creatures like us, Aquinas's account of the divine origin and organization of the universe includes essential ingredients of his philosophy of mind. The Metaphysics of Creation is a continuation of the project Kretzmann began in The Metaphysics of Theism; as before, he not only explains Aquinas's natural theology, but advocates it as the best available to us.

The Heythrop Journal Kretzmann does a wonderful job of both conveying Aquinas's thought clearly and cogently, and discussing it in terms of the most advanced and sophisticated work of our contemporaries. He writes furthermore in an excellent philosophical style, at once incisive, unpretentious and pellucid

Anthony Kenny, Times Literary Supplement Kretzmann's lucid analysis of the arguments, and his patient teasing out of their difficult steps, is a service to the learned world, both theological and philosophical

Anthony Kenny, Times Literary Supplement Kretzmann's presentation of this argument is more plausible than any other argument for God's existence of which I am aware
