About This Paperback
Draws upon both the Catholic and the Protestant theological traditions to explore the humanity of Jesus
The modern movement to recover the humanity of Jesus has often resulted in the creation of a Jesus that happily reflects the prevailing tendencies of the time, a Jesus that has been 'salvaged' from beneath outdated and anachronistic dogma. Thus, we have been presented, for example, with Jesus the bourgeois moralist and Jesus the progressive liberator. "In the Likeness of Sinful Flesh" proposes to show that a truly human Christ is not to be found by rejecting the dogmatic tradition, but by faithful exegesis of the biblical texts as they stand.
In studying the humanity of Jesus, Dr Weinandy argues that in the Incarnation, Jesus assumed not some ideal humanity but humanity with all its sinfulness, and that Jesus' bearing the birthmark of sin is the foundation for any authentic understanding of the incarnation and the work of redemption.
