Description
Summary:Scripture testifies to Jesus' knowledge of his divinity and to his human ignorance. How is he aware of his divinity? Is he ho theos? What is his relation to the Father? How is he tempted and impeccable? How can he grow in knowledge and be infallible? Human consciousness involves a structured mystery that allows God to be perceived in and through finite figures. This structure is reflected in the relation of person and nature. Maximus Confessor's notion of person obviates the need for postulating a scholastic beatific vision in Christ yet synthesizes various insights from Thomas, Scotus, Suarez, and Rahner.
