Univocal language in religious language: Hume and Aquinas

1. 1Univocal language is when we use words [blank_start]to mean the same thing[blank_end] in religious terms that means for example [blank_start]God's love[blank_end] and [blank_start]Jane's love[blank_end] mean the [blank_start]same thing[blank_end].

   1. Ato mean the same thing
   2. BGod's love
   3. CJane's love
   4. Dsame thing
2. 2As Hume observed '[blank_start]Wisdom[blank_end], [blank_start]thought[blank_end], [blank_start]design[blank_end], [blank_start]knowledge[blank_end] - these we justly ascribe to him because those words are [blank_start]honourable[blank_end] among men, and we have no other language by which we can express our [blank_start]adoration[blank_end] of him'

   1. AWisdom
   2. Bthought
   3. Cdesign
   4. Dknowledge
   5. Ehonourable
   6. Fadoration
3. 3However univocal language causes problems of [blank_start]anthropomorphism[blank_end]. Aquinas wrote in the [blank_start]Summa Theologica[blank_end] 'But no name belongs to God in the same sense that it belongs to creatures; for instance, wisdom in creatures is a quality, but not in God'

   1. Aanthropomorphism
   2. BSumma Theologica
