Product Description

On The Flesh Of Christ is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and apologist from the early third century. The book is a defense of the Christian doctrine of the incarnation, which holds that Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully human. Tertullian argues that this doctrine is essential to the Christian faith and that any denial of it is a rejection of the gospel itself.In the book, Tertullian addresses various objections to the doctrine of the incarnation, including the charge that it is illogical or absurd. He argues that while the incarnation may be difficult to understand, it is not contradictory or irrational. Tertullian also defends the idea that Jesus had a real, physical body, and that he suffered and died on the cross.Throughout the book, Tertullian emphasizes the importance of the incarnation for the redemption of humanity. He argues that only by becoming human could God truly understand and sympathize with human suffering, and only by suffering and dying could Jesus atone for the sins of humanity. Tertullian also explores the implications of the incarnation for Christian ethics and the Christian understanding of the nature of God.Overall, On The Flesh Of Christ is a significant work of Christian theology and apologetics that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today.Since(24) you think that this lay within the competency of your own arbitrary choice, you must needs have supposed that being born(25) was either impossible for God, or unbecoming to Him. With God, however, nothing is impossible but what He does not will. Let us consider, then, whether He willed to be born (for if He had the will, He also had the power, and was born). I put the argument very briefly. If God had willed not to be born, it matters not why, He would not have presented Himself in the likeness of man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
