The Metaphor of God Incarnate

Meer over het boek

Challenging traditional Christian doctrines, the author argues that Jesus did not endorse the orthodox view of his dual nature. He posits that the concept of divine incarnation is metaphorical and that its literal interpretation fosters a harmful belief in Christianity's superiority over other religions. Instead, he suggests that Jesus should be seen as a figure who reveals God to humanity and inspires a life lived in divine presence. The revised edition includes insights from two modern theologians, offering varied responses to these theological issues.
