Biblical Thomism which has developed in the recent years constitutes a project of recovering a biblical dimension of Aquinas’s theology and, as a result, initiates a number of questions concerning a theological method. Although the majority of Thomas’s biblical commentaries are still awaiting a critical study they have been discovered and translated into many languages confronting the researchers with the questions on the relation between systematic and scripturalist works. Biblical Thomism accentuates the circulation between the Bible and speculative theology and the relations between dogma and moral teaching, a clear example of which is the understanding of simplicitas undertaken in this article. According to Aquinas, it stems from the nature of God and shapes the attitude of moral simplicity (the simplicity of the human heart).References
