Jordan Wood explains Maximus' understanding of the limited role of nature in universal salvation, which unlike in David Hart's theology in which nature contains the full potential of deification and salvation, there is the necessity of realization in time and history of the actual working out of salvation and the defeat of evil beyond nature in personhood. 

Sign up for the upcoming class, "Lonergan & the Problem of Theological Method": "Bernard Lonergan, SJ (1904 - 1984) came to see the development of a modern scholarly method for theology as one of the most pressing challenges of 20th-century Christian thought. This course follows how Lonergan's view of theological method as a task and a problem developed on the way to his 1972 book, Method in Theology, and its major breakthrough: functional specialization." The course will run from the weeks of February 16th to April 11th.  Register here https://pbi.forgingploughshares.org/offerings)
