The Incarnation as God's First Intention: Supralapsarian Christology for Faith and Practice - Edwin Chr Van Driel

Descriere The Incarnation as God's First Intention: Supralapsarian Christology for Faith and Practice - Edwin Chr Van Driel

In The Incarnation as God's First Intention, Edwin Chr. van Driel advocates a transformative perspective on the incarnation, proposing that God's decision to become incarnate was not a response to human sin but was instead God's first and foundational intention. Engaging the historical and theological roots of this supralapsarian (before the fall) Christology, Van Driel, a leading scholar on the topic, invites readers to reconsider long-held views on God's engagement with creation. \n \nWith clarity and depth, Van Driel unpacks how understanding the incarnation as God's original purpose reshapes the doctrines of creation, election, salvation, and eschatology. His insights offer a fresh framework for the church's mission in today's world, suggesting that God's presence with us is not merely a remedy for human fallenness but, rather, God's first intention and ultimate goal for creation. \n \nWritten for students, theologians, and all who seek a deeper understanding of God's relation to the world, this book challenges readers to see the incarnation, God's dwelling among us, as God's central purpose.
