Product Description

On The Flesh Of Christ is a theological treatise written by the early Christian author Tertullian in the 2nd century AD. The book is focused on the nature of Christ's physical body and his incarnation. Tertullian argues against the idea that Christ's body was merely an illusion or a temporary form that he assumed. Instead, he asserts that Christ's body was a real and permanent part of his being, and that his physical suffering and death on the cross were essential to the Christian message of salvation. The book also addresses other theological issues related to the nature of Christ, including his relationship to God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Tertullian's writing is characterized by his use of rhetorical devices and his passionate defense of Christian doctrine. On The Flesh Of Christ is considered a foundational text in the development of Christian theology, and its ideas have influenced the thinking of theologians and scholars for centuries.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.
