(2 Jefferson) 109, 114 (1772) 'n (uestion )* of the Prima secundae of his Summa theologiae +'.ii,, A-uinas asserted the concept of an eternal law which provides the road map for all ethics and ethical conduct. his eternal law, A-uinas reasoned, is !od.s device to govern the entire community of the universe toward the common good. he divine law, as represented for e/ample in the en Commandments, ma0es eternal law more concrete and 0nowable. 1atural law then transforms the laws emanating from the realm of the supernatural, ma0ing them 0nowable in the hearts of human beings& and instruct them to do good and avoid evil.& Lastly, human law2which translates natural law into concrete norms governing particular peoples and nations2is the most concrete and specific application of eternal law in the realm of the nature.
