Writing about the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor 12:8-10, St Tomas Aquinas said that there are three kinds, gifts of revelation whereby we come to know the truth, gifts of proclamation whereby we preach and teach that truth, and gifts of demonstration whereby we manifest the truth of what we proclaim, e.g.,  by means of deeds of power. This course will study each group of gifts in detail, their interaction, and the ways in which they can be acquired and exercised in the new evangelisation.
