Is the Secular Sacred?
Description
I did my first Substack Live this afternoon, discussing the Protestant theology of nature and grace. Following on my recent discussions of whether the secular is sacred, I go back before the fall and ask if nature was, even then, sanctified by grace. Was the covenant of works a gift of grace, i.e., supernature? Should Protestants accept Aquinas’ doctrine of the beatific vision?
These are all the questions I’ll have to answer toward a Protestant theology of nature and grace. Towards the end of the video, I put forward a hypothesis that I call theological naturalism — just so that no one is happy with it. Enjoy!
