Description
Why did God become human? The typical answer – “because of human sin” – suggests the Word would not have become flesh had humanity not sinned. However, a closer look at Scripture, the theological tradition and the insights of key Christian thinkers such as St. Paul, Irenaeus of Lyons, John Duns Scotus, Thomas Merton and Francis of Assisi, among others, offer an alternative yet entirely orthodox answer to this question: It was God’s plan from all eternity to become human regardless of human sin. This audio lecture explores the spirituality and theology of the Incarnation to renew our personal and pastoral understanding of Christology.
