| 520 | |a The Christian theological tradition has been predominantly essentialist: it has held that creation is ordered by God’s providential work into natural kinds, and that each kind exemplifies a nature proper to it.

In so doing, it seeks to establish the criteria that any contemporary restatement of essentialism must meet to be considered a success. | ||
