| Summary: | Grace is a fundamental theological category. In the history of theology it has been the focal point of theological argument. In postmodernity, with the proliferation of new articulations of notions of gift and donation (Marion) and the deconstruction of the sign (Derrida), as well as fresh understandings of the relation between freedom and responsibility (Levinas), the theology of grace may find a new language and grammar in which to be spoken. Largely, that voice will be both phenomenological and metaphysical. This article focuses on the notion of grace as prevenient (gratia praeveniens) and juxtaposes this with the notion of the `posteriority of the anterior' (Levinas). |
