Additional Praise for Partakers Partakers of the Divine of the Divine “In his well-researched and brilliantly-argued first book, Jacob Holsinger Sherman shows that the metaphysics of participation are inseparable from the practice of contemplation. He shows that this aspect of spiritual engagement has been just as fundamental for philosophy as for theology. The radical implication is that our current divisions between the two disciplines, alongside our overadulation of cold academic detachment, may both lack historical warrant and be existentially and culturally perilous.” Catherine Pickstock University of Cambridge “Does ‘seeing God’ have philosophical meaning or relevance today? Lucid and learned, Partakers of the Divine presents a frequently misunderstood strand of Christian reflection. In this profound and trenchant work, Jacob Holsinger Sherman offers a penetrating case for the contemporary application of ‘the vision and the faculty Divine.’” Douglas Hedley University of Cambridge [3.81.30.41] Project MUSE (2024-03-28 15:49 GMT) PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE [3.81.30.41] Project MUSE (2024-03-28 15:49 GMT) PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE CONTEMPLATION AND THE PRACTICE OF PHILOSOPHY JACOB HOLSINGER SHERMAN Fortress Press Minneapolis PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE Contemplation and the Practice of Philosophy Copyright © 2014 Fortress Press.
