This article recovers a fundamental part of the logic inherent in the traditional doctrine of divine blessedness for the sake of commending the efficacy of the incarnate Son's mission. This recovery begins with two theses derived from Thomas Aquinas’ account in the Summa theologiae, where divine blessedness includes an intrinsic connection between self-sufficiency and aseity through the concept of self-possession. It is then argued that revisionists and critics of the doctrine tend to soften this connection, and that something like the traditional logic is indispensable to the salvific teleology of the Word become flesh.

神圣祝福的逻辑和基督的救赎目的论

这篇文章恢复了传统神圣祝福教义中固有逻辑的一个基本部分，以赞扬道成肉身的圣子使命的功效。这种恢复始于托马斯·阿奎那 (Thomas Aquinas) 在《神学概论》(Summa theologiae) 中的叙述，其中神圣的祝福包括通过自我占有的概念在自给自足和安逸之间的内在联系。然后争论说，修正主义者和教义的批评者倾向于软化这种联系，并且像传统逻辑这样的东西对于圣言的救赎目的论来说是必不可少的。
