On the Human Knowledge of Christ, Part 3

     Medieval scholasticism defined three types of human knowledge which were different than the knowledge which Jesus enjoyed as God.

      1. Beatific Knowledge: This is also termed the "beatific vision" and entails seeing the essence of God and all the things which are in that essence.

     2. Infused Knowledge: This is knowledge which is directly implanted by God.  It is knowledge which is known prior to any possible experience which could have produced the knowledge.

     3. Acquired Knowledge: THis is knowledge which is gained by direct human experience and learning.

     These three types of knowledge will be re-introduced where necessary in the subsequent discussion.
