Can there be a Christian metaphysics? Claude Tresmontant shows convincingly that there can. Christian faith involves as part of its doctrine an original body of thought about such subjects as being, creation, man and matter, which can properly and only be called Christian metaphysics. As Walter Ong S.J. remarks in his Preface: "Professor Tresmontant's contribution lies in highlighting just how different the metaphysics implied by Christian teaching is from anything else in the history of thought." Students of both philosophy and theology will find these lucid and penetrating reflections extremely valuable for their own work and thought.
