Understanding the Hypostatic Union through Similitudes

The chapter explores the concept of similitudes to understand the relationship between the word and assumed human nature, drawing parallels between Scholastic philosophy and the hypostatic union. It compares the views of Aquinas and Scotus on the similarities and differences between the hypostatic union and the union of accident and subject, emphasizing the importance of considering both similitudes for a comprehensive understanding of the assumed human nature in theological mysteries.
