Hah! A Classics education proves its point. Happy to note a typo in the notes to Raimon Panikkar's 'The Cosmotheandric Experience' referring to Aquinas' 'Summa Theologiae I', which should properly read, "...unicum Verbum eius est expressivum non solum patris..." #ClassicsTwitter

207. Cf. D. Thomas: “Deus enim cognoscendo se, cognoscit omnem creaturam... Sed quia Deus uno actu et se et omnia intelligit, unicum Verbum eius est espressivum solum Patris, sed etiam creaturam.” Sum. theol. 1, g. 34, a. 3, c. (cf. also Ps. 39, 3 ff.).

Context in the archive

Quoted by@RyanMReeves Yup, nerdy it gets. That very fragment traces the ascent of creaturely intelligence toward God. Within the same metaphysical circuit, Summa theologiae I.34.3 supplies its descending counterpart: creatures are knowable in God because they are already expressed in the one Word.Quoted by@sentantiq Some of us _specialize_ in ecumenical pedantry, sorry, Latinate pluriversalism. "Graecorum iste morbus fuit quaerere." - SenecaQuoted by@artofmanliness @lukeburgis I respectfully beg to differ! 😀 Raimon Panikkar's 'The Cosmotheandric Experience' propels the footnote into what feels almost like an entirely new theological category. There's a tangible joy to footnote fanhood most seem to miss, isn't there? The sublime, buried in a field.
