The Anointed One and the Anointing One

The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Soul of Christ According to the Biblical Commentaries of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Produktbeschreibung

Pneumatic Christology rarely addresses the question of the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Christ's soul, which is reflective of Western Christendom's stalled theological reflection on the Holy Spirit in the wake of the Filioque controversy. What does it mean to say that Jesus is "the Christ"? How does Christ's sevenfold anointing differ from that of Christians'? With the help of St Thomas Aquinas as Magister in Sacra Pagina, this monograph explores the characteristically Dominican interest in Christ's human nature by examining the Angelic Doctor's thinking on the Holy Spirit in the soul of Christ. Beginning with the Arbor Iesse pericope (Isaiah 11:1-3a), the doctrine of perfectus homo is addressed in the light of Aquinas' basic principle that "Grace perfects nature" and moves onto the doctrine of Christ's two wills and how they interact through the the Seven Gifts' operations. The Seven Gifts are then applied to Christ's threefold office as priest, prophet, and king to show how these functions are specifically Penumatological, concluding with a proposal for a new venue within the dogmatic treatise de Verbo Incarnato, namely "Theandric anthropology."
