The God Who Became Human: A Biblical Theology of Incarnation - eBook

Grasp a deeper understanding for the astonishing providence of God that prepared the way for the incarnation and the most unfathomable expression of love in history.

Why did God become human? Anselm asked this question and it is doubtless that innumerable believers pondered similar questions. Graham Cole stimulating study The God Who Became Human begins by examining God's purpose in human creation and why the creature was made as temple for the divine image. He then traces the unfolding of this theme as it leads to salvation in Israel's history.

Theophanic language takes center stage throughout the study-as Scripture presents God as a person with human-like capabilities of speech, feeling, and at times seemingly embodied. He then explores Israel's messianic hope, and then the testimony of the New Testament and its relationship to the Old Testament testimony. Cole then answers Anselm's question, finding numerous answers in the New Testament.
