Abstract

In this paper, the author, starting from articles in the recent Oxford Handbook of Deification (2024), discusses some crucial points of the doctrine of deification in ‘Eastern’ thinkers like Maximus the Confessor and Gregory Palamas, in order to compare these two thinkers with the similar doctrine in Thomas Aquinas. The paper tries to identify where the problems lie and focuses on the concept of created grace as a challenge. Even if that constitutes a problem, the reading of some central texts seems to suggest that there are points at which there are at least some ‘structural likenesses’ between the ‘Eastern’ and the ‘Western’ opinion.

参与与神化

本文从最近出版的《牛津神化手册》（2024）中的文章出发，讨论了“东方”思想家如忏悔者马克西姆斯和格里高利·帕拉马斯的神化学说的一些要点，以便将这两位思想家的神化学说与托马斯·阿奎那的类似学说进行比较。本文试图找出问题所在，并将重点放在“受造之恩”的概念上，作为一种挑战。即使这构成了一个问题，对一些核心文本的阅读似乎表明，在“东方”和“西方”的观点之间至少有一些“结构上的相似性”。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Systematic Theology has acquired a world-wide reputation for publishing high-quality academic articles on systematic theology and for substantial reviews of major new works of scholarship. Systematic theology, which is concerned with the systematic articulation of the meaning, coherence and implications of Christian doctrine, is at the leading edge of contemporary academic theology. The discipline has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last three decades, and is now firmly established as a central area of academic teaching and research.
