Description
Summary:WithInner Grace (and its companion volume Outward Signs, also published in 2008) Phillip Cary develops his idea of ‘interiority’ or ‘inwardness’ (for Cary's terminological preferences see p. vii), which he first proposed in his volume Augustine and the Invention of the Inner Self (2000—see JTS, ns 52 [2001], pp. 920–4). Cary's aim is to show how Augustine applied his concept of inwardness to the general Christian doctrine of grace and thus developed ‘the notion that grace is inner, a kind of divine help bestowed inwardly on the soul’ (p. viii).
