Absolute Person and Moral Experience

Presenting a neo-Calvinist account of human moral experience this book is an advance upon the tradition of Augustinian moral theology.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/>
