This reflection takes a look at Aquinas' notion of God as "Being", especially as it emerges in the Summa Theologiae. The author suggests that affirmation of God as Be-ing functions within an explicitly theological context so as to preclude any idolic fixations in our thinking and language. The affirmation of divine "Be-ing" serves to enhance the realisation of our understanding of God as love, and thereby underscores a theology of gift.
