"Summa Theologica" by Saint Thomas Aquinas

..
Man requires more than philosophy in his search for truth ;
certain truths are beyond human reason and are available only because of divine revelation ;
theology,which depends on revealed knowledge,supplements natural knowledge.
..
The existence of God can be proved in five ways :
by reference to motion -and the necessity of a first mover-,
by reference to efficient causes -and the necessity of a first cause-,
by reference to possibility and necessity,
by reference to the gradations of perfection in the world,and
by reference to the order and harmony of nature -which suggests an ordering being who gives purpose to the created world-.
..
God alone is the being whose nature is such that by reference to him one can account for the fact of motion,
efficient cause,
necessity,
perfection,and
order.
..
God's principal attributes are simplicity -for he is noncorporeal and without genus-,
actuality,
perfection,
goodness,
infinitude,
immutability,
unity,and
immanence ;
but the created intellect can know God only by God's grace and only through apprehencion,not comprehension.
