Bol Partner The Christian doctrine of the Incarnation affirms that the eternal Son of God took human flesh from his human Mother, and that the historical Christ is at once fully God and fully man. It was the genius of John V. Taylor to apply this profound theological truth to the realities of modern men and women - to show that the doctrine was not some theological abstraction or the result of some intellectual pirouetting. The Incarnation is a truth to be experienced - the redeeming love of God is the key to God's saving love towards human beings and their world. Here, Bishop Taylor shows the reality of this paradox. He had the rare gift of interpreting extremely profound truths, with clarity and simplicity. The essence of Christianity consists in its refusal to separate the seen from the unseen, the material from the spiritual. In Christianity, the seen and the unseen are declared to impinge on us only in terms of the seen and the material. If you separate them from each other, you misunderstand both. And, this is what Jesus is about. Jesus was not a superman who could do what ordinary mortals cannot do, nor was he a god disguised as a carpenter. 'I and the Father are one' and 'The Father is greater than I' - Taylor believes these two sentences to be true of all of us, and to a unique degree Jesus revealed to us this truth about ourselves.
