Thank you for these videos on classical theism and Thomism. They are very helpful. It would be nice to include in these videos sources (books, articles, etc.) for further study, whether contemporary or older. Of course, in this instance, Dr. Kerr's book and the Summa, Prima Pars, Q.14 are such sources, but are there other well-attested sources?
Is there a danger in conceptualizing the way our intellect works as being like a physical mirroring? In how we might smile as another smiles, but that doesn't make our smile
What I dont get is how God's will of creating relates to the necessary will in Gaven Kerr's understanding. I know there is the idea of cambridge properties which are understood to be extrinsic? But where in terms of the trinity is these cambridge properties located if all there is happens to be just the essence of God? If all there is eternally is God's essence how can there be anything extrinsic to God that is also eternal?
One of my favorite episodes and a fascinating topic. God bless you both and your families!
Truly fascinating. Thanks Pat and Gaven.

A question on the angels:

Pat, in your view, is propositional knowledge compatible with simplicity (even if we reject that model in the end)? Sidjuwade seems to think so.

But, how does God knowing Himself entail that He knows everything other than Him?
