The Doctrine of the Incarnation

The Doctrine of the Incarnation by Robert L. Ottley is a comprehensive exploration of the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation. Ottley delves into the historical, theological, and philosophical aspects of the Incarnation, examining its development in early Christian thought and its implications for modern theology. He discusses the various controversies and debates surrounding the doctrine, including the debates over the nature of Christ's divinity and humanity, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the relationship between the divine and human aspects of Christ's person. Ottley also examines the implications of the Incarnation for Christian ethics and spirituality, exploring how the doctrine shapes our understanding of the nature of God, humanity, and the world. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Doctrine of the Incarnation is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the central Christian doctrine of the Incarnation.1896.
