"I Believe in Order to Understand": Divine Revelation Critical to Higher Reasoning
This paper explores divine revelation, reason, and the "spark".
During the Middle Ages the ancient classical writings became available, and with it a window into the reasoning powers of the ancients. Theologians in search of greater truths integrated these methods of reasoning into their arguments and writings. However, several key theologians noted that reason alone was not able to provide full understanding, especially on theological issues. Even Aristotle noted that natural reason was not capable of apprehending the unmoved mover. Anselm and Aquinas assert that greater understanding is grasped when faith is integral to reason. As Anselm affirms, "I believe in order that I may understand." These theologians assert that divine revelation through faith provides greater understanding and reasoning powers than natural reason, Scriptures, or a profession of faith alone. Summarily, higher reasoning and understanding powers are only available through faith and divine revelation.
