Summary
Freedom is, without a doubt, an important component of Aquinas’s worldview. The drama of salvation, in which humans respond to God’s offer to redeem them from sin and give them everlasting happiness, would make no sense if humans were not free.1 But commentators have found it difficult to agree on the details of Aquinas’s views.
