The Metaphor of God Incarnate

More about the book

Challenging conventional Christian beliefs, this work presents John Hick's arguments against the orthodox view of Jesus as God incarnate. He critiques the traditional dogma of Jesus' dual nature, suggesting it has led to significant moral issues, and advocates for a metaphorical interpretation of the divine incarnation. Despite this, Hick maintains that Christians can still regard Jesus as Lord and a vital connection to God. The second edition features new insights on the Christologies of John Macquarrie and Roger Haight, SJ, expanding the discussion further.
