| Abstract: | In several of his writings, Bernard Lonergan emphasized the study of mathematics and especially its history as being important for philosophy and theology. In this article, I offer two examples of how the history of mathematics might inform theology. My first example explores the disparities between Euclid's Elements and Aquinas' Summa Contra Gentiles. My second example applies the idea of incompleteness to the “good and necessary consequence” clause of the Westminster Confession of Faith. |
