David Bentley Hart provides a profound exploration of the supernatural within Christian theology, particularly focusing on its resurgence in Roman Catholic thought. His meditations address the complex relationship between nature and supernature, challenging a specific Thomistic interpretation while advocating for a model that aligns more closely with Eastern and patristic traditions, as well as progressive medieval and modern Catholic thought. Hart argues for the near-total elimination of distinctions between the natural and supernatural realms in the lives of spiritual beings, promoting a radical monistic view of Christian metaphysics grounded in credal orthodoxy. As a prominent theologian, Hart resists the revival of “two-tier Thomism” prevalent in Anglophone theology. Through this rigorous examination, he delves into metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological concept of theosis, drawing logical conclusions that challenge conventional perspectives. This work is likely to engage readers interested in theological metaphysics and offers insights from traditions like Vedanta, suggesting that Christian philosophers, theologians, and scholars can still learn significantly from these perspectives.
