Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1ED-2

[‘Participation’ points to the triadic structure of the divine manifested in the human.

Our human nature is to participate in the divine nature.

How do we do that?

We image God by creating relationships, artifacts and potentials. We create in all three realms of existence, just like God. We are naturally disposed to create.

Participation’ emerges from and situates the potential of my dispositions and natures. ]
