- Aquinas' 3 types of analogy
- Analogy of attribution
- the qualities we ascribe to each other (wisdom, love, goodness) are reflections of God's attributes
- Analogy of proportion
- the type of qualities that something has depends on the nature of the being that possess them
- Analogy of 'proper' proportion
- we possess qualities like the qualities of God because we were created in his image but - because we are inferior to God we possess them in a 'lesser' proportion to God
