What is the meaning of the word grace'? Can Wittgenstein's maxim
that the meaning of a word is its usage help explicate the claims
that Christians have made about grace? When Christians use the
word, they reference within language the point of contact between
humanity and the divine. Terrance W. Klein suggests that grace is
not an occult object but rather an insight, a moment when we
perceive God to be active on our behalf. Klein examines the
biblical evidence that grace begins as a recognition of God's
favour, before considering Augustine as the theologian who
champions history rather than nature as the place of encounter with
grace. Aquinas' work on grace is also explored, retrieving the
saint's thought on three seminal concepts: nature, form, and the
striving intellect. Overall, Klein suggests that grace is the
perception of a form, an awareness that the human person is being
addressed by the world itself.
