Was Christ's human nature fallen, even sinful? From the 18th
century to the present, this view has become increasingly prominent
in Reformed theological circles and beyond, despite vigorous
opposition. Both sides on the issue see it as vital for
understanding the nature of salvation. Each side's advocates appeal
to or critique the Church Fathers. This book reviews the history
and present state of the debate, then surveys the connections,
distinctions, and patristic interpretations of five of the modern
fallenness view's proponents (Edward Irving, Karl Barth, T. F.
Torrance, Colin Gunton, and Thomas Weinandy) and five of its
opponents (Marcus Dods the Elder, A. B. Bruce, H. R. Mackintosh,
Philip Hughes, and Donald Macleod). The book verifies the views of
the ten most-cited Fathers: five Greek (Irenaeus, Athanasius,
Gregory Nazianzen, Gregory Nyssen, and Cyril of Alexandria) and
five Latin (Tertullian, Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose, Augustine, and
Leo the Great). The study concludes by sketching the implications
of its findings for the doctrines of the Immaculate Conception,
sin, sanctification, and Scripture.
