Description
Grace is a teaching article in four parts: actual grace, sanctifying grace, the controversies on grace, and supernatural adoption. Actual grace is a help from God for good acts, granted through Christ's merits. A Catholic Encyclopedia article moves from first meanings to the schools that divided Catholics.
Sanctifying grace is treated with justification and its preparation. The controversies section covers the Reformers' and Jansenists' heresies and the Catholic solutions of Thomism, Augustinianism, Molinism, Congruism, and Syncretism. The closing part presents adoption as God's children, the gracious raising of man to share the inner life of the Most Blessed Trinity.
