The doctrine of the Incarnation lies at the heart of Christianity. But
the idea that 'God was in Christ' has become a much-debated topic in
modern theology. Oliver Crisp addresses six key issues in the
Incarnation defending a robust version of the doctrine, in keeping
with classical Christology. He explores perichoresis, or
interpenetration, with reference to both the Incarnation and Trinity.
Over two chapters Crisp deals with the human nature of Christ and then
provides an argument against the view, common amongst some
contemporary theologians, that Christ had a fallen human nature. He
considers the notion of divine kenosis or self-emptying, and discusses
non-Incarnational Christology, focusing on the work of John Hick. This
view denies Christ is God Incarnate, regarding him as primarily a
moral exemplar to be imitated. Crisp rejects this alternative account
of the nature of Christology.
