In the Incarnation of God, authors, John C. Clark and Marcus Peter Johnson offer us a masterpiece theological work on the doctrine of the Incarnation.<\/p>\n
Much of modern evangelicalism has drifted from historical orthodox Christianity; some in major ways and others more nuanced. The incarnation is one of those areas much of modern evangelicalism has drifted. While lip service is offered to the incarnation, that’s about as deep as it gets. Many Christians today have no idea how the incarnation is related to salvation, the church, the sacraments, marriage and sex, etc.<\/p>\n
Clark and Johnson set out to bring us back to orthodox Christianity rooted in the Bible, the early church, and the reformers. Their main thesis, to show how the incarnation is the foundation of the gospel, is wonderfully put on display, as well as more detailed and nuanced connections in the areas listed above.<\/p>\n
