The Doctrine of the Incarnation Opened

Edward Irving's Christological thought emphasized the significance of God the Son assuming a fallen human nature, a belief he argued was crucial for understanding salvation, the Trinity, and the empowerment of Christian discipleship. His ideas sparked considerable theological debate in the early nineteenth century and influenced prominent thinkers like John McLeod Campbell, Thomas F. Torrance, and Karl Barth, shaping subsequent discussions on the nature of Christ and the implications for faith and practice within Christianity.
