AQUINAS, THOMAS
1225–1274
The Analogy of Being (The Liturgical Transposition)
Aquinas held that words like good and being apply to God and to creatures by analogy — not the same, not unrelated. CoCA inherits the move at the level of vocabulary. Sunk Cost (§3.4.1.1) is the analogical bridge from finance to spirit. Red Sea (§3.4.1.2) bridges geography and crossing. The Lexicon is a department of analogical theology, with the bookkeeper's ledger as scripture.
