By exploring four analogical acts of knowledge, we can discern the significant role of the divine ideas in the journey of creation into a beatific participation in God’s own knowing of Godself. The primordial ground for all acts of knowing truth lies within the Trinitarian knowing of Godself, and Aquinas among others already interprets this infinite knowing of truth as God’s own beatitude. Exponents of the divine ideas tradition highlight aspects of the human act of knowing truth as already participating in a limited way in the beatific knowing of God. Within our world, the death and resurrection of Christ re-establishes the possibility of the human encounter with divine knowing and loving that is at the ground of all truth. The beatific vision draws rational creatures into God’s knowing of Godself and therein to a vision of all creatures in God. |
