Review "An Elementary Christian Metaphysics is intended primarily for undergraduate students as an introduction to metaphysics. . . . The scope of the metaphysical study pursued by Owens includes not only a general investigation of beings but also an analysis of knowledge (epistemology) and of the divine nature, all in light of natural reason." —Studies in Religion"Irrespective of ones intellectual genotype, an exposure to the sustained, developmental elucidation of Aquinas insights executed by an author such as Owens can only enhance any metaphysical approach to reality." —The New Scholastic Review Quote "An Elementary Christian Metaphysics is intended primarily for undergraduate students as an introduction to metaphysics. . . . The scope of the metaphysical study pursued by Owens includes not only a general investigation of beings but also an analysis of knowledge (epistemology) and of the divine nature, all in light of natural reason". --Studies in Religion Details ISBN0268009163 Author Joseph Owens Short Title ELEM CHRISTIAN METAPHYSICS Publisher University of Notre Dame Press Series Irish in America Language English ISBN-10 0268009163 ISBN-13 9780268009168 Media Book Format Paperback Imprint University of Notre Dame Press Place of Publication Notre Dame IN Country of Publication United States Residence US Birth 1943 Illustrations black & white illustrations DOI 10.1604/9780268009168 UK Release Date 1994-03-21 AU Release Date 1994-03-21 NZ Release Date 1994-03-21 DEWEY 230.01 Audience General Year 1985 Publication Date 1985-01-01 US Release Date 1985-01-01 Pages 402 Alternative 9780268160296 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
