 Free Download Adam Pryor Bethany College, "Body of Christ Incarnate for You: Conceptualizing God's Desire for the Flesh " English | ISBN: 1498522688 | 2016 | 232 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Incarnation has always been an important concept within Christian theology. For centuries theologians have wrestled with how best to conceptualize the vexing problem of what it means that Jesus the Christ is fully God and fully human. In this book, Adam Pryor explores how the incarnation has intersected corresponding issues well beyond the familiar question of how any one person might have two natures. Beginning by identifying four critical themes that have historically shaped the development of this doctrine, Pryor goes on to offer a constructive account of the incarnation. His account seeks out the continued meaning of this doctrine given the increasing complexity that characterizes our understanding of human bodies-bodies that can no longer be understood as the locus of distinct subjects separated from the world of objects with the skin as an impenetrable boundary between the two. Making use of contemporary phenomenologies of the flesh and the erotic, Pryor develops an understanding of the incarnation that seeks to go beyond classical issues presented by two natures christologies. Incarnation, in guises as various as Jesus the Christ, cyborg bodies, and sacramental practices, becomes a way that God is diffused into the world, transforming how we are to be-with one another.  Free Download Matthew Eaton, "Incarnate Earth " English | ISBN: 1032249412 | 2023 | 210 pages | PDF | 12 MB Incarnate Earth reimagines the doctrine of Incarnation by extending the unity between Creator and creation beyond Jesus to the entire world.In dialogue with contemporary theologies of deep incarnation and the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, the author argues that the face of Christ is encountered in the cruciform demand for justice embodied in the creaturely finitude and vulnerability that grounds ethics.Central to this vision is a recognition that the religious role-functions at the heart of Jesus' life―the revelation of God and the redemption of the world―are performed throughout the physical world, irreducible to humanity or one heroic representative of the species. Thus, the human encounters the divine Christ  Free Download Thomas Joseph White OP, "The Incarnate Lord: A Thomistic Study in Christology" English | 2017 | pages: 552 | ISBN: 0813230098, 0813227453 | PDF | 5,4 mb "Provides excellent insight into how Christology would be manifest through the lenses of Thomas Aquinas. He does this by looking at central themes in Christology, giving particular attention to the hypostatic union, the two natures of Christ, the knowledge and obedience of Jesus, the passion and death of Christ, Christ's descent into hell, and the resurrection. In each of these sections, White provides excellent analysis and synthesis enabling the reader to understand how Thomas Aquinas might view them." - Catholic Library World  Free Download Matthew D. Jensen, "Affirming the Resurrection of the Incarnate Christ: A Reading of 1 John" English | 2014 | pages: 235 | ISBN: 1107429463, 1107027292 | PDF | 0,8 mb The first letter of John is commonly understood to contain no reference to Jesus's resurrection. Matthew D. Jensen argues that, far from this being absent from the theology of 1 John, the opening verses contain a key reference to the resurrection which undergirds the rest of the text and is bolstered by other explicit references to the resurrection. The book goes on to suggest that the author and the readers of this epistle understand themselves to be the authentic Israel from which faithless Jews had apostatized when they denied that Jesus was 'the Christ' and left the community. Jensen's interpretation calls for a new understanding of the historical context in which 1 John was written, particularly the question of Jesus' identity from the perspective of his fellow Jews. An innovative and provocative study, of interest to scholars and advanced students of New Testament studies, Johannine theology and Jewish history. |
