| 总结: | “Common grace” has played an important but disputed role in the Reformed tradition’s picture of God’s relationship to the creation. While providing a theological foundation for many Calvinists’ cultural engagement, certain ambiguities and issues plague the concept. By comparing it to another Reformed vision of God’s continuing creative relationship to the creation, namely that of David Kelsey in his book titled Eccentric Existence, and examining especially three aspects of Kelsey’s vision—i.e. the distinctions between God’s operations, the Trinitarian underpinnings of God’s creational activity, and the proper human response to that activity—promising directions for the common grace tradition are highlighted. |
