What can or can't God do? This book offers a radically new interpretation of one of the key concepts of medieval religious philosophy: the concept of the power of God. In it Moonan provides a thought-provoking and illuminating analysis of the arguments advanced by the medieval schoolmen to tackle this problem. In the process, he brings to light some challenging and important new insights on the work of some of the most important thinkers of the Middle Ages--particularly Albert, Bonaventure, and Aquinas. This is a stimulating and ground-breaking book, which will not only help to clarify one of the notorious puzzles of medieval religious philosophy, but also provide an important challenge to theologians and philosophers today.

What flexibility is there in the precise manner by which he executes his decrees?This book is a readically new interpretation of one of the key concepts of medieval religious philosophy: the concept of the power of God. In it Dr Moonan provides a thought-provoking and illuminating analysis of the arguments advanced by the medieval schoolmen to tackle this problem, concentrating in particular on the distinction theymade between `absolute' and `ordained' divine power.
