Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 CO

[Would Schoonenberg have labeled the same actuality: the whole person?

The conflict between the whole person and God’s revelation is manifest in the double vertical axes.

The horizontal axis remains one. Its normal context is lawessential.

However, one may denote the horizontal axis according to the conditions of the intersecting vertical axis. One can write of lawacceptance or lawdenial, depending on dominance of one or the other vertical axis.]
