Does the «God of the philosophers» have a place in the conclusions of medieval exegetes? Wisdom 13:1-9 and Romans 1:18-23 discuss the ways in which the pagans were able to apprehend the existence of a single creator God.

Were they even able to perceive the Trinity, to knowledge of which the essential attributes of the divine being could lead?
