Document Details : Title: Grace, Nature, and the Theorem of the Supernatural Subtitle: A Trinitarian Perspective Author(s): ORMEROD, Neil Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 42 Issue: 1 Date: 2019 Pages: 26-42 DOI: 10.2143/LS.42.1.3286078 Abstract : The issue of grace-nature is foundational to theology. Problems concerning the distinction came to a head in the work of Henri de Lubac. Yet de Lubac began his investigation by eschewing a theological approach to the issue. Rahner argues that only a Trinitarian God can be a self-communicating God. From this perspective then the solution to the problem of divine self-communication (grace) resides in a properly Trinitarian context. This paper will argue that a more substantial response to the issue of grace-nature can be found through the work of Lonergan on the Trinity, using the so-called four-point hypothesis. |
