| Summary: | Notwithstanding his often ferocious condemnations of the flesh and its weaknesses, Thomas More was clearly no Manichean. In his most mature thought, especially as revealed in the Tower worksthe Dialogue of Comfort and the De tristitia Christihe clearly teaches how the flesh and other mere material things could contribute to the Christian's sanctification and salvation. The root and foundation of More's understanding of holy material things can be found in his understanding of the Incarnation. According to More, God effected His salvific work through, and not in spite of, material creation. |
