This is a second and revised edition of John Hick's much discussed book first published twelve years ago. He claims that Jesus himself did not teach what was to become the orthodox understanding of him; that the dogma that he had both a divine and a human nature is incoherent and unintelligible; that divine incarnation is a metaphorical idea; that its literal construal makes Christianity the only religion to have been founded by a God in person, and thus uniquely superior to all others, a belief which has done so much harm in the world; that instead Christians should take Jesus as the one who has made God real to us and challenged us to live in God's presence. The new material now added shows how two major contemporary theologians, one Anglican and the other Catholic, face these problems and arrive at many but not all the same conclusions.

About the book >.>.> The Metaphor of God Incarnate: A Second, Revised Edition by John Hick is an influential theological work that explores Christology and the concept of incarnation. Originally published over twelve years ago, this revised edition expands on Hick's previous discussions and includes an analysis of the contributions made by two significant contemporary theologians. In this book, Hick argues that the teachings of Jesus do not directly align with the doctrinal understanding of incarnation that developed later within Christian tradition. His insights are aimed at students of theology and philosophy, as well as lay readers, broadening their understanding of Christian culture and encouraging a reevaluation of perspectives on religion. The work is presented in a manner that is accessible and engaging, inviting critical reflection on its themes.Critics have noted that while readers may not agree with all of Hick?s conclusions, he articulates the sentiments of many serious Christians today and highlights critical issues in the ongoing discussion of Christology, which the Church must address. The book is regarded as essential reading in the field of Christology, providing penetrating insights into the contemporary debates surrounding incarnation. Hicks' thoughtful and candid approach contributes significantly to the discourse, ensuring its relevance for years to come. This edition serves as an important reference for anyone interested in the complexities of religious belief and the continuing evolution of Christian thought. (LL). Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM768-VG-15263
