Incarnation: On the Scope and Depth of Christology, by Niels Henrik Gergersen, Ed. Fortress Press, 2015.
(I am going through this book with a friend and find it to be an excellent resource for theological study. Highly recommended!
- Phil)
In this volume, prominent scholars take the reader on a journey from New Testament and early church views of incarnation to contemporary understandings of Christology.
Deeply engaged with the classical tradition and the contemporary world, the book leads readers into critical explorations and debates of the concept of "deep incarnation"the view that the divine incarnation in Jesus presupposes a radical embodiment that reaches into the roots of material and biological existence, as well as into the darker sides of creation. Such a wide-scope view of
incarnation allows Christology to be relevant and meaningful when responding to the challenges of scientific cosmology and global religious pluralism:
* How does the revelation of the love of God in Christ relate to other experiences of communicative love and ethical sensitivity, to suffering and joy?
* In what sense does God's Logos and Wisdom "becoming flesh" include the world of "all flesh"from grass to human persons?
- And other inquiries . . .

St. Theophilus of Corte: May 19. 1676-1740.
If we expect saints to do marvelous things continually and to leave us many memorable quotes, we are bound to be disappointed with Saint Theophilus. The mystery of God’s grace in a person’s life, however, has a beauty all its own.
Theophilus was born in Corsica of rich and noble parents. As a young man, he entered the Franciscans and soon showed his love for solitude and prayer. After admirably completing his studies, he was ordained and assigned to a retreat house near Subiaco. Inspired by the austere life of the Franciscans there, he founded other such houses in Corsica and Tuscany. Over the years, he became
famous for his preaching as well as his missionary efforts.
Though he was always somewhat sickly, Theophilus generously served the needs of God’s people in the confessional, in the sickroom, and at the graveside. Worn out by his labors, he died on June 17, 1740. He was canonized in 1930.
