Description
The debate on the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ continues, as contributors to 1977's controversial book, The Myth of God Incarnate, meet and exchange views with the authors of The Truth of God Incarnate. The result is Incarnation and Myth, a spirited colloquy that responds from both sides to the major issues in the debate.
Edited by Michael Goulder, and including contributions from. among others. John Hick, Brian Hebblethwaite, Basil Mitchell, Graham Stanton, and Lesslie Newbigin, Incarnation and Myth focuses its discussion on these seven probing questions:
- Can the views propounded in The Myth of God Incarnate be called Christian?
- Does the term "incarnation" mean the same thing in today's discussion as it always has?
- Is the traditional doctrine of incarnation logically coherent?
- Is the domino theory correct?
- Do all Christian doctrines stand or fall together?
- Does the New Testament offer unambiguous evidence for a doctrine of incarnation?
- How do the claims of other world religions bear on the Christian idea of the centrality of Christ?
If all Christians including today's are conditioned by their culture. can we believe in the incarnation?
