In recent years, the theological—and, more specifically, Roman Catholic—question of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion. David Bentley Hart's You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature. In its merely controversial aspect, the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation, as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic, and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought. In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects, the book makes a vigorous case for the all-but-complete eradication of every qualitative, ontological, or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures.
Hart, one of the most widely read theologians in America today, presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called "two-tier Thomism," especially in the Anglophone theological world. In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy, Hart takes the metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions.

There is a problem with the audible version. It divides the chapters and times incorrectly. Chapter 5 starts in what Audible tells you is the middle of chapter 4. This is a significant error that I’m surprised audible has not corrected.
The voiceover could have more intonation and pauses. Seems at times too rushed. Not in terms of speaking speed. But in terms of getting through sentence after sentence without proper emphasis of key points or junctures. Decent enough and understandable. But with such heady thoughts and vocabulary needed to enhance the pauses.
Brilliant and Insightful. Yet Abstruse & Tangential

The way that DBH speaks about God is proper to his name. I have become weary of all the theologians who are still embalmed within the tiresome Aristotelian-Thomist language. At the particular stage in intellectual development that I happen to be in, I have regarded his work with an immense joy for providing me with the kind of concepts that I need. He gives words that are able to supply the intuitions that I have been having. Overall, I am renewed with a hope for Christianity after coming to know his work.
