1. DEIFICATION IN AQUINAS: CREATED OR UNCREATED?

Author

CROSS, RICHARD

Subjects
*GOD in Christianity, *DOCTRINAL theology, *CHRISTIANITY
Abstract

This paper argues, against A. N. Williams, that Aquinas accepted a doctrine of created grace, in addition to uncreated grace, throughout his career, including in the Summa theologiae. After offering analyses of Aquinas's treatment of created and uncreated grace, it further argues, against Luke Davis Townsend, that according to Aquinas created grace is the formal cause not only of a person's being justified but also of a person's participating in God and being deified. To this extent, these latter are mediated: created grace is what explains someone's participating in God and being deified: 'explains' in the sense of an Aristotelian formal cause, much as (to use one of Aquinas's examples) something's whiteness explains that thing's being white.

3. Homo Assumptus in the Christology of Hugh of St Victor: Some Historical and Theological Revisions.

Author

Cross, Richard

Subjects
*THEOLOGY, *CHRISTOLOGY, *TRINITY, *DOCTRINAL theology
Abstract

I argue that the first of Peter Lombard’s three christological opinions (from Sentences, Book III, distinction 6) is an accurate presentation of the Christology of Hugh of St Victor, and (contrary to some recent interpreters) that Hugh knows of, and explicitly rejects, the second opinion recounted by Lombard. Central to Hugh’s Christology is that the man assumed in the incarnation (homo assumptus) is identical to the second person of the Trinity. I argue that later medieval interpreters of Hugh’s opinion fall into two groups. Some fail to grasp that Hugh posits an identity here, and thus mistakenly present his view as Nestorian (Thomas Aquinas); others grasp what Hugh means, but hold that strict identity posits too tight a relationship between the man Christ and the second person of the Trinity (Duns Scotus).
