Jordan talks with Matthew Baines about Gisbertus Voetius and participation. They cover all sorts of topics like: Who is Voetius? Why is he important? How does he relate to Thomism and Scotism? How "eclectic" really is the Reformed tradition? Is theology practical or contemplative? What does it mean for theology to be mystical? What does it mean that Voetius's doctrine of God reflects the neoplatonic belief that being is dynamic? What is the metaphysics of exodus and what are the various senses of participation? Does union with Christ entail deification or theosis? Does Voetius allow for ontological participation? What does this look like? What is Voetius's view of the beatific vision? How is the Franciscan view different?
