Description
In recent years, the theological--and, more specifically, Roman Catholic--question of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion. David Bentley Hart's You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature. In its merely controversial aspect, the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation, as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic, and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought. In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects, the book makes a vigorous case for the all-but-complete eradication of every qualitative, ontological, or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures. Hart, one of the most widely read theologians in America today, presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called "two-tier Thomism," especially in the Anglophone theological world. In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy, Hart takes the metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions.

DAVID BENTLEY HART and PATRICK ROBERT HART are both writers, raconteurs, and dilettantes. David is Patrick's father, which is quite a singular coincidence since Patrick is David's son. Both have beards, but one has hair on his scalp as well; the one who does not is very envious of this.
A trained traditional and voice actor who loves to read and perform, Chris Monteiro has lent his voice to television and radio ads, animated films, video games, documentaries, and dozens of audiobooks. As an "Army brat" in his youth and a twenty-two-year military veteran and pilot as an adult, Chris has lived and traveled extensively throughout The United States, Europe, and Asia. These experiences, along with his own unique cultural and ethnic heritage, are among the greatest influences on Chris's chameleon-like ability to quickly adapt to languages, accents, and dialects. With a vocal range that covers young adult through middle aged, he delivers nuanced fictional character performances as well as mature academic reads. Chris graduated from Ebry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a BS in professional aeronautics and continued his education at the University of Massachusetts, earning a master's degree in teaching with a concentration in history.
