Description
Summary:Starting out from John Barclay's Lutheran-inclined, actualist reading of the in-breaking quality of grace and the Spirit in Paul, this article asks how a Catholic theology of grace - typically more focused on identifying the relatively stable structures and effects of grace - might with integrity learn from the Barclayan-Lutheran-Pauline difference. By pursuing a close, four-step reading of Thomas Aquinas' theology of grace, as that appears in the Summa Theologiæ and his lectures on the Pauline epistles, the article demonstrates that just such a Catholic appropriation of a more dynamic graced actualism is indeed possible; one which leads, with dynamic integrity, to a deepened understanding, articulation and practice of core Catholic instincts rather than to their reduction or distortion.
