In his response, Martin Laird argues that Chapter 16.9 consummates the organic development of the human as the 'apex of creation and ... the very image of God'. Moreover, Laird sees a connection between Chapter 15.3 and Chapter 16.9. Set off by several of Gregory's apophatic markers, Chapter 15.3 presents the apophatic nature of the intellect which constitutes the key to understanding the key phrase in Chapter 16.9 that declares that 'there is to be beheld in the human compound a share ... of the divine'. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
