| | Donald L. Gelpi: Two Spiritual Paths: Thematic Grace vs. Transmuting Grace (Part 1) |
 | | A generally accepted theology of grace fails to explain the experience of conversion, ineptly interprets non-Christian religious experience, and mutes the church's kerygmatic preaching. |
 | | Since transcendental Thomism acquiesces in a Thomistic philosophy of human nature, one cannot deal adequately with the issues raised by a theology of thematic grace without some attention to those facets of Aquinas's philosophy which ground it. |
 | | As we shall see, the theology of transmuting grace endorses the main lines of a Thomistic theology of grace. |
