Retrieves a neo-Calvinist theology of human moral experience, drawing from the works of Herman and Johan Bavinck, Geerhardus Vos, and Cornelius Van Til.
Presenting a neo-Calvinist account of human moral experience, this book is an advance upon the tradition of Augustinian moral theology. The first two chapters are theological interpretations of Genesis 2:17 and 3:6 respectively. Chapter 3 approaches the neo-Calvinist notion of God as absolute person through a consideration of theologies of human reason and history. Chapter 4 considers the relationship between absolute person and classical trinitarianism, and the significance of absolute person for accommodation, hermeneutics, and the Creator/creature relation and distinction. The fifth chapter considers the role of the incarnation in Bavinck’s thought, and thus provides a backdrop for reflection upon absolute person from a biblical theological point of view. Shannon concludes with the claim that, according to the Bavincks, Vos, and Van Til, human moral experience is the product of a divine self-expression primarily in the Son.
"Absolute Person and Moral Experience is an excellent text that holds great value for all kinds of endeavours in theology and ethics. Nathan Shannon has provided the academy and the Christian church with a valuable resource." - Studies in Christian Ethics
