Drawing from a chapter taken from a book in draft, in this talk DeHart will critically evaluate John Milbank's understanding of the relationship between creation and divine grace and offer an alternative, sourced in Aquinas, that he considers more adequate.
Paul DeHart is Professor of Theology at the Vanderbilt Divinity School. He holds an MA from Yale Divinity School and a PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School.
