Being divine seems to entail being omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, but the New Testament portrays Jesus as having human properties. It seems logically impossible that any single individual could possess such mutually exclusive sets of properties. A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation aims to provide a critical reflection of these challenges and to offer a compelling response integrating aspects from analytic philosophy of religion, systematic theology, and historical-critical studies.

On the heels of the advance since the twentieth-century of wholly physicalist accounts of human persons, the influence of materialist ontology is increasingly evident in Christian theologizing. To date, the contemporary literature has tended to focus on anthropological issues (e.g., whether the traditional soul / body distinction is viable), with occasional articles treating physicalist accounts of such doctrines as the Incarnation and Resurrection of Jesus cropping up, as well. Interestingly, the literature to date, both for and against this influence, is dominated by philosophers. The present volume is a collection of philosophers and theologians who advance several novel criticisms of this growing trend toward physicalism in Christian theology. The present collection definitively shows that Christian physicalism has some significant philosophical and theological problems. No doubt all philosophical anthropologies have their challenges, but the present volume shows that Christian physicalism is most likely not an adequate accounting for essential theological topics within Christian theism. Christians, then, should consider alternative anthropologies.

This handbook provides theological and philosophical resources that demonstrate analytic theology's unique contribution to the task of theology. Analytic theology is a recent movement at the nexus of theology, biblical studies, and philosophy that marshals resources from the analytic philosophical tradition for constructive theological work. Paying attention to the Christian tradition, the development of doctrine, and solid biblical studies, analytic theology prizes clarity, brevity, and logical rigour in its exposition of Christian teaching. Each contribution in this volume offers an overview of specific doctrinal and dogmatic issues within the Christian tradition and provides a constructive conceptual model for making sense of the doctrine. Additionally, an extensive bibliography serves as a valuable resource for researchers wishing to address issues in theology from an analytic perspective.

Describing Jesus as an “agent” of divine actions, or as one who possesses human “agency,” is commonplace in christological discussions. Yet these discussions often wade in a shallow understanding of the terms' meanings and the theological implications of such claims. For example, while many theologians who are committed to the definition of Chalcedon consider Jesus one agent, we might ask if this implies that the triune God comprises “three agents?” Or, if Christ possesses “singular agency,” how are his divinity and humanity operative in his actions? In response, this work draws from the theology of John Owen and advancements in philosophy of action in order to offer an account of divine and human agency in christological action from within the Reformed tradition. It provides clarity to the christological and trinitarian uses of the language of “agent/agency” in Christ and attends to the theological (esp. trinitarian) entailments therein. While at first glance there may appear to be internal inconsistencies with accounts that subscribe to classical trinitarianism and Reformed Christological agency, this book argues that Owen helps us recover an understanding of christological agency that is internally coherent and theologically prudent. As such the Reformed tradition can articulate Christological “agency” in a way that is coherent with the testimony of Scripture, the ecumenical councils, and classical trinitarianism while contributing to contemporary theological discussions. The case not only provides terminological clarity and theological coherence, but also inclines Christians to appreciate the trinitarian love of God in Christ's action and the human sympathy of Christ for his people.

Could God’s Son incarnate sin? Could the tomb have remained closed? Could the story have gone differently? More precisely, could God’s Son be eternally separated from the Father’s communion and eventually die and go out of existence? Mainstream theology often argued for Christ’s impossibility to change (immutability), be separated from the triune God (indivisibility), and sin (impeccability). Consequently, there was no potential risk to his life; his death on the cross could not affect in any form his divine life. Would the cross not need, instead, a risk to be a sacrifice? Here is where the question finds its raison d'être: Could God’s Son risk his eternal existence, losing himself forever with all humankind? This question is rarely considered or often neglected in Christological debates. Ellen G. White, a woman among the most prolific nineteenth-century authors and a prominent Adventist theologian, delves into what she calls the “infinite risk,” the potential reality of the death of God the Son. Drawing on her extensive writings, this book analyses White’s Christology, Incarnational model, and views of the Godhead and of what (could have) happened at the cross, cutting new paths in the comprehension of God’s love while challenging conventional theological paradigms.

Does Jesus know everything? If so, why does he say he doesn’t know the hour of his second coming? Why is he described as growing in wisdom? On the other hand, if he doesn’t know everything, then is he still divine? The controversial doctrine of Kenotic Christology offers a simple solution to these questions by positing that Jesus voluntarily emptied himself of certain abilities and knowledge at the incarnation. However, critics have claimed this solution compromises the deity of Christ. Engaging, rigorous and rooted in Scripture, this work argues that Kenotic Christology not only upholds the divinity of Jesus but also provides the best lens for understanding depictions of his humanity. What Jesus Didn’t Know challenges readers to rethink divinity, omniscience, and the radical humility of Christ.

Most systematicians take as their starting point the nature of God, and scripture as the means by which God’s nature is revealed, but what would a systematic theology look like that began with an experiential knowledge of God? Here, Edmond Chua offers a method for just such an approach. Beginning with realms of human experience including psychology, cultural diversity and religious plurality, he builds the framework of a systematic theology that is inclusive and pluriform, while retaining the core tenets of a Christian doctrine of God. Notwithstanding his novel methodology, Chua’s argument remains biblically rooted and appreciative of the Christian tradition. In the latter half of the book he returns to the classical doctrines of the Trinity, Christology, evil, sin and salvation, allowing his inclusive view of the human religious experience to shed new light on the wisdom bequeathed by Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Barth, and others. The result is a bold Christian vision that is culturally engaged and globally applicable, of interest to systematic theologians while contributing to interreligious dialogue.

This comprehensive work collects more than 30 essays from leading biblical scholars and systematic theologians to explore the person and work of Jesus Christ in a generously interdisciplinary manner. From research foundations and method to the doctrine of the incarnation, from the Trinity to the resurrection, and from Christ's temptations to his high-priestly prayer, these essays seek to engage constructively with Scripture, the history of Christian teaching, and modern proposals and debates. Together this international group of scholars engages such topics as: Christ's preexistence, his constitution as the God-human, his temptations and will, the hypostatic union, the prayer of John 17, the struggle in Gethsemane, kenosis, the two states and threefold office, Spirit Christology, impassibility and the cross, resurrection, and the diversity of the New Testament witnesses to him. This is an indispensable volume for the study of Jesus Christ in the subject's biblical, historical, and doctrinal contours.

Analytic Theology is a new and growing movement that draws on the Anglo-American analytic philosophical tradition for theological work. It prizes clarity, brevity, and logical rigour in its exposition of the Church’s historic doctrines and practices. As well as helping to provide Christians with a deeper understanding of their faith, analytic theology also seeks to demonstrate to the academy - and to the world - the coherence and credibility of the Christian worldview.

In this book, Austin Stevenson argues that it is not the 'divinity' of Jesus that causes problems for historians, but his humanity. To insist that Jesus was fully human, as both theologians and historians do, still leaves us with the question of what it means to be human. It turns out that theologians and historians often have different answers to this question on both a philosophical and a theological register. Furthermore, historians frequently misunderstand the historiographical implications of classical Christology, and thus the compatibility between traditional beliefs about Jesus and critical historical inquiry. Through close engagement with the thought of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–74), this book offers a new path toward the reconciliation of these disciplines by focusing on human knowledge and subjectivity, which are central issues in both historical method and Christology. By interrogating and challenging the normative metaphysical assumptions operative in Jesus scholarship, a range of possibility is opened up for approaches to Jesus that are genuinely historical, but not naturalistic.
