incarnaTe - How We Know That Jesus is God and Man/Top 10 Reasons seeks to show that Jesus of Nazareth can be understood only as the human locus of the Divine. Today not just skeptics but many theologians have rejected the traditional affirmation that Jesus is God and man. Yet neither group is aware of the infrastructure of hard facts that testifies to the truth of divine incarnation. The insight that Jesus is God incarnate imposes itself on the human mind once it considers the various phenomena explored here. Once the dots are connected, we cannot but see the picture. But we cannot see the picture if we ignore the relevant dots. You have the see the trees to see the forest! All applicable evidence - the world religions, world history, Jewish history, the experience of Christians through the centuries, the Gospel narratives, the practice of the first Christian communities, the logical coherence of saying that a certain Person is both divine and human - must be submitted and studied as one whole.

"The Myth of God Incarnate" proved to be a controversial book second only to "Honest to God" in the interest it caused. In order to take the questions discussed in it a stage further, the seven original contributors arranged an extended meeting with a group of their leading critics. This book is the result of their discussion.

Whether or not Jesus rose bodily from the dead is perhaps the most critical and contentious issue in the study of Christianity. Rather than depend on statements in the New Testament, Swinburne argues for a wider approach.

This book is a philosophical examination of the logical problems associated with the claim that Jesus of Nazareth was one and the same person as God the Son, the Second Person of the divine Trinity. How can a being or person who is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, etc., have become human given that humans are limited in knowledge and beset with weaknesses? Unless this belief in the incarnation is to be dismissed as pious sentimentality, a philosophical case must be made for at least the possible rationality of the idea. Tom Morris makes such an attempt in this book. Indeed, although it claims only to be arguing that the idea of God Incarnate is not impossible, The Logic of God Incarnate confronts the preponderance of modem philosophical argumentation against the incarnation and manages to put the traditional doctrine in a quite plausible light.

In this groundbreaking work, John Hick refutes the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus of Nazareth. According to Hick, Jesus did not teach what was to become the orthodox understanding of him: that he was God incarnate who became human to die for the sins of the world. Further, the traditional dogma of Jesus' two natures--human and divine--cannot be explained satisfactorily, and worse, it has been used to justify great human evils. Thus, the divine incarnation, he explains, is best understood metaphorically. Nevertheless, he concludes that Christians can still understand Jesus as Lord and the one who has made God real to us. This second edition includes new chapters on the Christologies of Anglican theologian John Macquarrie and Catholic theologian Roger Haight, SJ.

The Christian doctrine of the Incarnation affirms that the eternal Son of God took human flesh from his human Mother and that the historical Christ is at once fully God and fully man. It was the genius of John V. Taylor to apply this profound theological truth to the realities of modern men and women - to show that the doctrine was not some theological abstraction or the result of some intellectual pirouetting. The Incarnation is a truth to be experienced - the redeeming love of God is the key to God's saving love towards human beings and their world. Here Bishop Taylor shows the reality of this paradox. He had the rare gift of interpreting extremely profound truths with clarity and simplicity. The essence of Christianity consists in its refusal to separate the seen from the unseen, the material from the spiritual. In Christianity the seen and the unseen are declared to impinge on us only in terms of the seen and the material. If you separate them from each other, you misunderstand both. And this is what Jesus is about. Jesus was not a superman who could do what ordinary mortals cannot do, nor was he a god disguised as a carpenter. 'I and the Father are one' and 'The Father is greater than I' - Taylor believes these two sentences to be true of all of us, and to a unique degree Jesus revealed to us this truth about ourselves.

The Art of God Incarnate proposes that visual art is a good way to think of how the incarnation--the central truth-claim of Christianity--can be said to reveal the divine. In the book of Genesis, the human being, fresh from the hands of the Creator, is the image of God in the temple of the world. In an environment of distorted images the prophets sought to make visible by symbolic gestures the divine attitude toward Israel, as well as looking forward to a new divine intervention to redeem history and transfigure human lives. For the New Testament faith, this transforming intervention has come about through the restoration of the divine image in man. Jesus Christ is the true and living icon of the Father and the model from whose radiance human beings generally can be re-fashioned. Despite the anti-iconic legislation of the Hebrew Bible, it was inevitable, therefore, that under the New Covenant a visual art would make its appearance, since God had now made himself visible in his humanized Son. During the iconoclast crisis which shook the Eastern Roman Empire, it was the achievement of the later Greek fathers to spell out this claim doctrinally. Modern aesthetics can throw further light, especially by way of phenomenology and semiotics, on how an artwork can be a communicator of meaning and truth. Finally, there is the question of how human beings are to make their own this revelation of God in the visual realm. In the Latin tradition, especially among the monastic teachers of the twelfth century, the biblical theme of man made in the divine image and likeness was used to speak of how people can be changed by the fresh resources that revelation provides. Through growth in charity they themselves can become saints, "images" of God.

It's the defining reality of all existence, the central fact of human history, and the heart of the Christian faith: God became a man and lived among us. More than just part of the Christmas story, the doctrine of the incarnation radically affects our understanding of God, humanity, life, death, and salvation. In The Incarnation of God, theology professors John Clark and Marcus Johnson explore this foundational Christian confession, examining its implications for the church's knowledge and worship of God. Grounded in Scripture and informed by church history, this book will help Christians rediscover the inestimable significance of the truth that the Son of God became what we are without ceasing to be the eternal God—the greatest mystery of the universe.

Two popular authors consider not only what the Ten Commandments say about the people who observe them, but what they say about God. They are not some set of universal rules-they simply offer ways for a certain people to know a certain God-our God. What truths about God can be known through the Ten Commandments? God cares how we treat other people. God cares how we behave in marriage. God cares about the importance of being truthful. God wants people to take a day off from work each week. Readers will encounter Willimon and Hauerwas at their best as they explore the overarching question-What does it mean for people and the way they behave when they know some of these truths about God?
