La tarea del teólogo según Domingo Báñez: entre la metafísica y la mística

Resumen:
According to Domingo Banez, theological speculation needs Metaphysics: both have God as their object of study; theological knowledge of God presupposes metaphysical knowledge. God is a pure Act of being, and the Grace is a participation in that Act, that is, an intensification of the act of being. Nevertheless, God is not only an abstract idea, but also a real being, with whom I can live intimately. Theology successfully develop when the theologian has connaturally with divine Reality; in short, the saint is in optimal situation to do Theology. The unity between experience with the living God and the work of theological speculation, which was thought to have been broken since the Middle Ages, is thus maintained.
