"God's Knowledge of the World examines theories of divine ideas from approximately
1250-1325 AD (St. Bonaventure through Ockham). It is the only work dedicated to categorizing
and comparing the major theories of divine ideas in the Scholastic period. A theory
of divine ideas was the standard Scholastic response to the question how does God
know and produce the world? A theory was deemed to be successful only if it simultaneously
upheld that God has perfect knowledge and that he is supremely simple and one. These
questions cause the Scholastic authors to articulate clearly, among other things,
their positions on the nature of knowledge, relation, exemplar causality, participation,
infinity, and possibility. An author's theory of divine ideas, then, is the locus
for him to test the coherence of his metaphysical, epistemological, and logical principles"
