Francisco Suárez y Jacobo Arminio sobre la vida divina

During his teaching at Leiden University between 1603 and 1609, Ar-minius held a series of public and private “disputations” on theological subjects, dealing with some classic topics of natural theology, among them, the attribute of divine life. The treatment that Arminius affords of divine life is much more akin to the one exposed by Suárez in his Metaphysical disputation 30, than to the corre-sponding Thomistic one, as contained in the two Summae. This would suggest how Arminius was not an exception to the broad diffusion that Suarezian metaphysics knew at Reformed milieus in the Netherlands during the first half of the xvii century
