Zusammenfassung

Leading scholar Jc Beall advances a contradictory Christology by addressing the apparent contradiction of Christ's being fully human and fully divine.

Zusatztext

In The Contradictory Christ, Beall does his best to explain the issues in an elementary manner, and he does a good job, but readers who start this book with little understanding of symbolic logic must be willing to acquire such an understanding in the process of reading it. Beall writes as an analytic theologian; parts of the book originated in the pages of the Journal of Analytic Theology. Just as physicists aim to present true theories about physical reality, Beall aims to present true theories about God (and, therefore, about Christ). A physicist who wants to understand the structure of space must be willing to understand Riemannian geometry and, if Beall is right, a theologian who wants to understand the logic of the incarnation must be willing to understand the logic of First Degree Entailment.
