In this third lecture of nine, we look at what Thomas Aquinas says about God, faith, and reason, in the beginning of the Summa contra Gentiles. For Thomas, it is a false dilemma to pit faith against reason, as if we had to choose between them. Rather, Thomas holds that the best way forward is a faithful reason and a reasonable faith. Thomas holds that we can learn something about God by way of negative theology whereby we deny things about God so as to have a less inaccurate view of God. We also examine various challenges that can be raised against Aquinas’s views.
