by David Peterson

Summary

"Responds to the claim that Evangelicals have an inadequate view of the Incarnation. - - Evangelicals are often accused of having a weak or inadequate view of the Incarnation, and its implications for salvation, mission and other religions. Where responses to the accusations have been made, the results have been far from little has been written or said by Evangelicals on such matters of concern. The Word Became Flesh brings together a number of prominent Evangelicals to provide thorough biblical, philosophical and theological reflections on Evangelicals and the Incarnation. These papers, first given at the Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, respond not only to particular charges of neglect, but also critique the incarnational theology of those who have made such charges. Particular emphasis is given to the link between the Incarnation and the Cross, what it means for humanity, and for the Christian and church life today."
