Summary:
This
interdisciplinary study follows an international and ecumenical meeting of
twenty-four scholars held in New York at Easter 2000: the Incarnation Summit.
After an opening chapter, which summarizes and evaluates twelve major questions
concerning the Incarnation, five chapters are dedicated to the biblical roots
of this central Christian doctrine. A patristic and medieval section corrects
misinterpretations and retrieves for today the significance of the Council of
Chalcedon (451) and its aftermath, as well as clarifying Aquinas' enduring
metaphysical interpretation of the Incarnation. The volume then moves to
theological and philosophical debates: three scholars take up such systematic
issues as belief in the Incarnation, the self-emptying that it involves, and
its compatibility with divine timelessness. The remaining four essays consider
the place of the doctrine of the Incarnation in literature, ethics, art, and
preaching. There is a fruitful dialogue between experts in a wide range of
areas and the international reputation of the participants reflects and
guarantees the high quality of this joint work. The result is a well
researched, skilfully argued, and, at times, provocative volume on the central
Christian belief: the Incarnation of the Son of God.
