Conventional wisdom has it that thinking on nature and grace among
Roman Catholic intellectuals between the sixteenth century and the
eve of Vatican II was severely clouded by the work of Cajetan and
his fellow Thomistic commentators. Henri de Lubac has rightly been
given credit for pointing this out; and to all appearances, de
Lubac's influence won the day, as can be seen by the imprint of his
thought upon not just the Second Vatican Council, but also the
pontifi cates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. In recent years,
however, a new crop of Thomistic scholars has arisen who question
whether de Lubac's word on nature and grace should be the last;
hence, the debate over the nature-grace relation, so heated in the
mid-twentieth century, has been stirred once again. Andrew Dean
Swafford here offers a 'third way' by way of the nineteenth-century
German theologian, Matthias J. Scheeben, who has been neglected in
academic appraisals of the subject until now. Swafford shows that
Scheeben captures the very best of both sides, while at the same
time avoiding the characteristic pitfalls so often alleged against
each.
