Abstract

This paper establishes a contrast between the Thomistic conception of Christ’s de-grees of knowledge with the contemporary conception of the same. It proves the fruit-fulness of Aquinas’ division of Christ’s knowledge in four kinds (one divine, three human: vision of God, infused science, and acquired knowledge) in order to deal with the problem of harmonizing Christ’s modes of human knowledge. Very particularly, it holds that Jesus articulated in his human language and with his acquired knowledge (culturally situated) that part of his potentially infinite human knowledge when it was relevant for his salvific mission.
