Thomas Aquinas, prophecy, cognitive process, intellectual processAbstract
The phenomenon of prophecy, as interpreted by Fr. José María Arévalo, is a process of cooperation of God’s grace revealing to us the truth about the Creator himself and the human intellect, which using its natural powers and consent to act is able to accept the knowledge of the supernatural. This is how the Colombian author presents the teaching of Thomas Aquinas on prophecy. He treats it as something inscribed in an intriguing manner in Aquinas’ well-known approach to the relationship between grace and nature: gratia non tollit naturam sed perficit. It is a timely and much-needed message in the era of postmodern crisis of human rationality and faith.
