The Metaphysics of Creation: Aquinas's Natural Theology in Summa Contra Gentiles II Book

Dr. Kosuke Koyama (1929-2009) was a Princeton-trained Japanese theologian. He taught for a time at that liberal bastion of Christianity, Union Theological Seminary; prior to this he was a Church of Christ missionary to Thailand (1960-1974). This book, written with a delightful sense of humor sprinkled throughout, is a thought-provoking collection of essays by Dr. Koyama, published in 1974 addressing the difficult task of formulating a coherent and, especially, viable Christian witness within an Asian framework. He interacts with most Asian nations, including the Philippines, Vietnam (the book was published at the tail end of U.S. military involvement), China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Burma.
