God is certainly a recurring idea in the book. Knowledge and understanding of God are core concerns of Saint Thomas's writings. The many questions are either about the nature of God or of the relationship between God and humanity. Often these are also intertwined with awareness of what the human soul is, and what the spiritual life is. There are also expositions on many subtle aspects of morality in relation to the individual. These are designed to empower the reflective, but can also serve as a foundation so that others may dispense with teachings within the Church's structure with the advantage of some definitions and understandings of how best to help their fellows.
