Example text
Lewis here: ‘The deeper the level within ourselves from which our prayer, or any other act, wells up, the more it is His, but not at all the less ours. ’3 Thus, for Balthasar, the revelation of the trinitarian God completes the human metaphysical eros for an address from Being – an address that begins to impress itself upon us in infancy with our inchoate awareness of the dialogical structure of existence, but which fails to reach full clarity in the ambiguous metaphysical systems of antiquity.
As this happens, human beings discover themselves called into a realm of infinite life, and the startling recognition dawns that one has been invited – in all one’s unique humanity – into God’s unbounded love for the world. Participating in Christ, human beings discover their own true calling and personhood as they are drawn into God’s drama with the universe, into the encounter of the finite with the infinite (TD2, 302–11). This divine–human relation, of course, implies a real distinction between God and creature.
Faith is the act of human reason that responds to this revelation, perceiving the dramatic quality of historical existence and thus seeking the proper hermeneutical horizon for reason within the moral engagement of the self with the free and sovereign address from God. It is only when revelation is viewed christologically as the dynamical juncture between human history and the intratrinitarian divine life that the proper roles of the various media of revelation come into focus. Both Scripture and Church must be viewed as the privileged historical witnesses to the Christ-event.
