A Note From John DeRosa
After reading Spencer’s interaction and discussion online, I enlisted him to write this essay. His interest in Classical Theism was evident from his participation in the Pints with Aquinas Facebook group. His knowledge of philosophical topics extends far beyond his age, and I look forward to reading his output for years to come.
