What is grace? (Priesthood Discussion)

by PeterR , Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:17 (1520 days ago) @ PatrickW

Profound and beautiful.

In 2003 I heard a "big time" theologian say that the understanding of grace as a sharing in the life of God was of the twentieth century.

Just how great was Newman?

The teaching I received as a child - and which I handed on to others for some time - was a concept of grace as something that came by the bucket load; the more I had the more I saved myself and the higher I went in heaven. My teachers did not know that I am afraid of heights.

Thanks, Patrick.
