Why Study Nature and Grace with Conor Cunningham

Since the late fourth century, Christian theologians have argued about the relationship of 'grace' and 'nature'. Conor Cunningham puts the view that this is a question as relevant for today as ever before.

These dialogues with Conor are stunning!

This segment w/Cunningham was the toughest, this was very sophisticated (i.e. not intuitive, nor popular level material or even Catechumen material, but rather is the very heady stuff that a robust theological and classical education seems to be required in order to really grasp it..); perhaps the tendency towards dualistic thinking, or even condescending to such tendencies by speaking in dualistic terms, is the dim light for the unequipped? The material seems most worthy of study thus far.

Interesting. The Hebrew idea of the soul , נופש , is that it is joined with flesh. Thank you for these 'why study...' videos. Flippin Awesome

An important thing to remember: God is not "eros", God is "caritas" (although both words are translated into English as "love", only the latter Greek word implies selflessness).

Hold on a second - if a dead body merely "resembles" the dead person, how is resurrection possible? Was Lazarus created anew after being dead for four days?

So when we die and pass out of our body, what is the 'we' that goes to heaven (or Sheol!)?

2:23 -- Grace "and" Nature: whence the "and?" I'd say The Fall is the "and."
