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.
