Was Christ's human nature fallen, even sinful? From the 18th century to the present, this view has become increasingly prominent in Reformed theological circles and beyond, despite vigorous opposition. Both sides on the issue see it as vital for understanding the nature of salvation. Each side's advocates appeal to or critique the Church Fathers. This book reviews the history and present state of the debate, then surveys the connections, distinctions, and patristic interpretations of five of the modern fallenness view's proponents (Edward Irving, Karl Barth, T. F. Torrance, Colin Gunton, and Thomas Weinandy) and five of its opponents (Marcus Dods the Elder, A. B. Bruce, H. R. Mackintosh, Philip Hughes, and Donald Macleod). The book verifies the views of the ten most-cited Fathers: five Greek (Irenaeus, Athanasius, Gregory Nazianzen, Gregory Nyssen, and Cyril of Alexandria) and five Latin (Tertullian, Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose, Augustine, and Leo the Great). The study concludes by sketching the implications of its findings for the doctrines of the Immaculate Conception, sin, sanctification, and Scripture.

This work is a critical analysis of Karl Barth's unique adoption of the concepts anhypostasis and enhypostasis to explain Christ's human nature in union with the Logos, which becomes the ontological foundation that Barth uses to explain Jesus Christ as very God and very man. The significance of these concepts in Barth's Christology first emerges in the Gottingen Dogmatics and is then more fully developed throughout the Church Dogmatics. Barth's unique coupling together of anhypostasis and enhypostasis provides the ontological grounding, flexibility, and precision that so uniquely characterizes his Christology. As such, Barth expresses the Word became flesh as the revelation of God that flows out of the coalescence of Christ's human nature with his divine nature as the mediation of reconciliation. This ontological dynamic provides the impetus for Barth's critique of Chalcedon's static definition of the union of divine and human natures in Christ from which Barth transitions to an active definition of these two natures. Not only does anhypostasis and enhypostasis explain the dynamic union between the divine and human natures in Christ, but also the dynamic union between Jesus Christ and his Church, which reaches its apex in the reconciliation of humanity with God, in Christ. The ontological foundation of anhypostasis and enhypostasis in Christ's union with his Church explains the importance of the royal man in understanding genuine human nature, the exaltation of human nature, and the sanctification of human nature.

Much of the preaching and teaching today demands that people actively earn their relationship with God. This prevailing understanding runs counter to the theology of the brothers Thomas F. Torrance (1913-2007) and James B. Torrance (1923-2003), who promoted the radical notion that all of humanity has its true being in Christ. In The Claim of Humanity in Christ, Alexandra Radcliff refutes the Torrances' many critics, asserting the significance of their controversial understanding of salvation for the interface between systematic and pastoral theology. Radcliff then widens the scope of her argument, constructively applying the implications of the Torrances' work to a liberating doctrine of sanctification. The Christian life is conceived as the free and joyful gift of sharing by the Spirit in the Son's intimate communion with the Father, revealing the reality of who we are in Christ.

Before Jesus came earth, more than two thousand years ago, according to Christian calendar, God, as a name, was representative of all deities in all religions. Then came Jesus, the Second Person in the Trinity, the Son God and the Savior of all mankind, with a revelation of the love of God for humanity, and His will for those who would obey the gospel of Jesus Christ and also for those who would reject Him. That is why He came, to restore paradise back to humanity which it lost through Adam's sin. In Jesus the Christ, what humanity lost because of the sin of Adam is now recovered and restored to it only in Christ. This book is given to be written to highlight that purpose. God is calling all humanity by His only begotten Son to return to its Maker. The heart of the Father is pleased with the sacrifice of God - the Lamb of God which was slain from the foundation of the world. That Jesus is the answer to everything which ails humanity is more profound than a slogan, definitely more pristine than a lyric, but certainly a truth that needs no emendation. Uche C. Ekeh holds a BBA degree in accounting from the University of the District of Columbia, Washington, DC; an MA in Biblical Studies from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia; a MEd in School Administration from Columbia International University in Columbia South Carolina. Also Mr. Ekeh holds an Ed.S in School Policy and Leadership from the University of South Carolina in Columbia South Carolina. He is the author of Words of Wisdom are Words of Life. Presently he works with Pastor Mike Brewer at Bible Temple Church in Toledo, Ohio where he currently resides.

Was Jesus Christ a fallen human being, like us? Was His human nature corrupt and sinful, inherently and necessarily subject to suffering and death? Did He inherit a fallen humanity? If His humanity was fallen how was He sinless? Did He have human ignorance? In what way was His human will involved in the plan of salvation? What effect did the hypostatic union have on His humanity? In Jesus: Fallen?, Emmanuel Hatzidakis, a Greek Orthodox priest, addresses these and other controversial questions pertaining to the human nature of Christ, which are debated in many Christian denominations, and in his own Church. The theology advanced in the book is the traditional theology of the historic Church. In all the modern confusio of multiple Christs, here we have the perennial image of the incarnate God, the Theanthropos Christ. The book should appeal to every serious Christian and student of theology, history of dogma and Church History who is comfortable neither with liberalism nor fundamentalism, but who is searching for the authentically true teachings of Christianity. Hatzidakis draws richly from the patristic inheritance of East and West in an original, refreshing, and accessible way. He refutes opinions formed by many eminent postlapsarian theologians. This pivotal study is the first to address this topic from an Eastern Orthodox perspective and in this regard it constitutes an important contribution to Christology. A well-researched study it sheds light from an Eastern Orthodox perspective on this intriguing and crucial topic. It maintains that the subject of Christ’s humanity and its understanding is neither a theologoumenon nor an abstract intellectual cogitation, but a matter of profound soteriological and anthropological import.

The incredible technical achievements of recent history may make us feel little less than gods," but we also find much that cuts us down. When we face our own limits and failures, upon what or whom can we rely? The biblical "answer" to questions about the ultimate nature and meaning of human life begins with the experience of Semitic slaves led out of Egyptian slavery beautifully recounted in Deuteronomy 26:5-11. The New Testament presents Jesus as the culmination of God's Old Testament promise. Christian faith has a particular Vision of the world and of humanity founded upon the relationship between God and creation. Its key elements are found in the inviolable dignity of every person, the essential centrality of community, and the significance of human action. These are the main themes of a Christian anthropology developed in this book.

Theodore of Mopsuestia was hailed in his lifetime as one of the outstanding theologians and bishops in the second half of the fourth and early fifth centuries. He was then and still is respected as the preeminent spokesperson for the School of Antioch's unwavering defense of Christ's full humanity and its exegetical approach to the Scriptures. But within ten years after his death in 428, his enemies began to attack him openly, eventually succeeding in condemning both his works and person at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553. He has since been declared by some as the "Father of Nestorianism." In this book, Frederick G. McLeod first establishes the principal influences that shaped Theodore's exegetical outlook. He then draws out the typology that Theodore sees present between Adam and Christ's humanity, exploring three major roles that Christ's humanity plays as the head of all human immortal existence, the bond of the universe, and the perfect image of God. Next McLeod shows how Theodore's customary word for Christ's "person" (prosōpon) ought to be understood in a functional way. The book concludes by applying these insights to the 71 excerpts that were used to condemn Theodore at the Second Council of Constantinople and proposing that these passages can be interpreted in a different, non-heretical way. This book enables one to judge Theodore's christological statements in the wider context of how he conceives of Christ's roles in salvation. It establishes clearly how Christ can be said to be a true mediator between the Father and all creation. It also makes one aware of the communal dimensions and relationships contained in the notion of "person." Finally, it indicates how the body plays an essential role in human and cosmic salvation. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Frederick G. McLeod, S.J., is Professor of Theological Studies at St. Louis University and author of The Image of God in the Antiochene Tradition. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "The author's contribution is ground-breaking. . . . McLeod modifies the whole perspective in which the problem of Theodore's much questioned orthodoxy needs to be considered. Thereby he opens a very constructive access to ancient christology. Sensitive to contemporary concerns he demonstrates a consistent and well-documented command over all essential issues of patristic thought about Christ."--Charles Kannengeisser, Concordia University "McLeod's contribution is significant. He provides a thorough and careful description of Theodore's view of Christ's humanity. . . . McLeod has an excellent command of the primary and secondary materials. His use of the texts from Theodore that have been preserved only in Syriac is worth special commendation."--Rowan A. Greer, Professor Emeritus, Yale Divinity School "McLeod's crisp and balanced introductory examination of Theodore's exegetical practices serves on its own as a fine introduction to Theodore's life and work. . . . McLeod certainly brings clarity and insight to what Theodore meant by his novel terminology and approach. . . . McLeod has made a significant contribution by unfolding an integrated understanding of Theodore's account of Christ." -- Daniel A. Keating, Theological Studies "This important book is welcome in a threefold way. It not only exegetes Theodore in a sensitive and contextualized manner (achievement enough), but it also takes the consideration of Theodore through to an overview of how the Syrians were treated in the wider Christological controversy, through to the sixth-century. It greatly assists our understanding by adding generous translations throughout from the complete works of Theodore, so few of which are yet available in an English language version. The author is to be congratulated for revealing the inner workings of a great biblical consciousness." -- John A. McGuckin, Modern Theology
