Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1FH-3

Summary of text [comment] pages 69 through 71

[With the intersection of recognition and participation, one sees how ‘grace can manifest itself in the realm of actuality’. ‘The state of grace’ and ‘the state of self-destruction’ occur in a field of contradictions. Within this field, God may directly act. So may Satan.

However, the act cannot be measured.

Any instrument of measurement automatically introduces an alternate normal context that imposes on the actuality at hand.

It is impossible to measure how grace or self-destruction act.

Yet, it is not difficult to see the theodrama (that Schoonenberg describes) plays out.]
