The study of themes plays a major part in biblical theology, and
great events and roles that are pivotal in Christology can be
successfully placed in a 'promise-fulfilment' framework. However,
is incarnation an anomaly? Was incarnation part of the hope of
Israel? Graham Cole's stimulating study addresses such questions.
He begins by exploring the purpose of creation in terms of God
fashioning a palace-temple for dwelling with the creature made in
the divine image, then follows God's acts in Israel's history to
redeem a people of his own among whom he can dwell. In particular,
he examines theophanic language: God is presented as a person who
speaks, acts and feels as though embodied. He considers Israel's
messianic hope, and then the testimony of the New Testament: 'The
Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (John 1:14), in the person of
Jesus Christ. Cole also addresses the question raised by Anselm -
'Why did God become man?' - and finds abundant New Testament
answers. He concludes with a consideration of the theological and
existential significance of the incarnation. Readers will gain a
deeper appreciation of the astonishing providence of God that
subtly prepared the way for the mystery of the incarnation, and of
the depth of love that God showed in sending the beloved Son who
became human.
