Description

In recent years the theologicaland more specifically Roman Catholicquestion of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion David Bentley Harts You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature In its merely controversial aspect the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects the book makes a vigorous case for the allbutcomplete eradication of every qualitative ontological or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures

Hart one of the most widely read theologians in America today presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called twotier Thomism especially in the Anglophone theological world In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy Hart takes the metaphysics of participation high Trinitarianism Christology and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions
