| Итог: | This article explains ‘the glory of God’ in the context of two Biblical claims seemingly at odds with each other: God does not share divine glory with humans, and God does share divine glory with them. The article offers a resolution of the apparent conflict on the basis of a Biblical conception of divine glory as inexhaustible perfect goodness that could, in principle, be shared in two ways: with human controlling ownership over its nature and value, and without such ownership. It finds widely neglected importance of divine glory in relation to voluntary human cooperation with God in sharing in it, without controlling ownership. As a result, divine perfect (defect-free) goodness inhabits a context of imperfection in human moral defects. The article explains that this context does not preclude divine glory but can advance its value and salience. It also finds the Apostle Paul and the author of John’s Gospel to agree on a voluntary human role in sharing in divine glory and on a central role of this sharing in God’s salvific ‘gospel of glory’. |
