STRENTHS

CAN BE INTERPRETED DIFFERENTLY - eg Barth who claimed Anselm never intended the argument to be proof of Gods experience = it was a result of religious experience where god revealed his nature as TTWNGCBC = for faith it is true as it is an expression of their faith
WEAKNESSES
ANY ATTEMPT TO DEFINE GOD LIMITS GOD = anything that can be analysed and classified can be understood by humans = unreligious + Aquinas = we do not know Gods definition = Anselm wrong
-
MANY SCHOLARS REJECT IT ON THE BASIS OF KANTS OBJECTIONS = existence isn't a predicated and existing necessarily doesnt mean God exists in reality
