Incarnation

'A valuable collection of reflection on the origins of Christian belief in the incarnation, and of its consequences and presentation in the modern world… its division into manageable-sized essays makes it possible for the busy preacher to pick it up and read it in stages.' - Church of England Newspaper 'This is a weighty and richly rewarding book, worthy of a place alongside the best twentieth-century monographs and volumes of essays on the greatest mystery of all.' - Brian Horne, The Tablet 'Impressive not only in its unity but also in its depth of scholarship.' - Brian Horne, The Tablet Twenty-four scholars from different universities, churches, and continents gathered in New York at Easter 2000 for the Incarnation Summit, a meeting exploring the belief that Jesus is the Son of God who took on the human condition. The scholars are experts in different fields; the Bible, ancient Christian writers, ancient Jewish writers, theology, philosophy, literature, modern art, and preaching. This book is the result of that meeting: a well-researched, skilfully argued, and, at times, provocative volume on the central Christian belief: the Incarnation of the Son of God.
