Description
Christ, the Christian, and the Church A Study of the Incarnation and Its Consequences by E. L. Mascall This book explores the significance of the incarnation of the Son of God, revealing how it underlies the life and thought of both the individual Christian and the Church. Mascall examines various aspects of Christian theology, including eschatology, ecclesiology, and pneumatology, to demonstrate the unifying principle of the incarnation. Through a detailed analysis, Mascall argues that the incarnation was theocentric, rather than anthropocentric, and that our actions as Christians are, in effect, actions of Christ himself. This understanding is rooted in the act of baptism, which unites us with Christ. By exploring these themes, Mascall provides a rich and nuanced study of the incarnation and its far-reaching consequences for Christian theology. With its thoughtful and insightful approach, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of Christian doctrine and its practical implications for the life of the Church.
