ST Suppl., q. 78

Of the Term "Wherefrom" of the Resurrection

Supplementcompiled posthumously from Aquinas's early Sentences commentary

We must now consider the term "wherefrom" of the resurrection; and under this head there are three points of inquiry:

(1) Whether death is the term "wherefrom" of the resurrection in every case?

(2) Whether ashes are, or dust?

(3) Whether this dust has a natural inclination towards the soul?
