The Natural Capacity of the Mind for Faith

Christology requires a metaphysics of human nature that permits us to identify a structure of human nature attributed univocally to all human beings. A merely extrinsic Christological designation of human nature is not feasible as if we could know human nature. God took on a distinct form in the incarnation and this now illumines what human being is from something having the mere accord of phenomenological appearances which so-called human race is naturally speaking an unresolvable question. The revelation of God addresses the human natural desire for perfect knowledge of God but elevates this inclination of nature to a higher plane and provides it with new life and dynamic specification.
