About the Speaker:

W. Matthews Grant is Professor of Philosophy at University of St. Thomas (MN), and Associate Editor of the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly. His work has focused on Aquinas and the philosophy of God, particularly issues having to do with the divine nature and God’s relationship to human freedom. His book, Free Will and God’s Universal Causality: The Dual Sources Account, draws resources from Aquinas and the scholastic tradition to explain how libertarian creaturely freedom can be reconciled with robust accounts of God’s providence, grace, and predestination.
