	The article presents the concept of God in Bergson’s thought. Conclusions which he drew from Aristotle’s physics and metaphysics were totally different from the ones which inspired the philosophy and theology of Thomas Aquinas. The Catholic Church fiercely reacted to Bergson’s Creative evolution, and in 1914 put it on the List of Prohibited Books. In Creative evolution, God is shown as internal impetus of life, which, thanks to its power of creative bounce and overmastering the resistance of matter, wants to pour in matter as much ‘indeterminacy and freedom’ as possible. Only in his next book About two sources of morality and religion, Bergson points at God as the root of all life activity of universe. Personal God is only love. The article also mentions the ideas which were the source of Bergson’s concept of God as impetus of life and its reception by 20th century philosophy and theology.
