Description
Nature and Grace: A New Approach to Thomistic Resourcement by Andrew Dean Swafford A re-evaluation of the nature-grace debate in Catholic theology is long overdue. For decades, Henri de Lubac's influence has dominated discussions, but recent years have seen a new generation of scholars questioning his approach. In response, Andrew Dean Swafford offers a fresh perspective on this contentious issue. Swafford turns to the work of 19th-century German theologian Matthias J. Scheeben, who has been overlooked in academic debates until now. By examining Scheeben's thought, Swafford reveals a middle path that avoids the pitfalls often associated with de Lubac and other prominent Thomistic commentators. This nuanced approach promises to shed new light on one of the most enduring controversies in Catholic theology. By exploring the work of Scheeben, Swafford provides a timely intervention in the ongoing debate over nature and grace. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of this central Christian doctrine.
