Thinkers in the Medieval Period were preoccupied with
problems surrounding the existence of God. Thomas Aquinas is
justly famous for enumerating five proofs for God's existence.
But he also claimed that because of those proofs, there are
things we can rightly know about the nature of God. From those
proofs he says we can understand two things about God's
existence. And from those two things, we can flesh out even
more knowledge about Him.
In this assignment carefully give a detailed explanation those
two initial bits of knowledge. And then explain them further as
Aquinas does. Aquinas claims we can retain the mystery
surrounding God's nature and yet have a glimpse of what he
actually is. Do you believe Aquinas argument permits us to see
God in this way? Is Aquinas' argument sound?

Must be double-spaced.
