One must believe in the Incarnation and the Trinity to be saved. These doctrines are easy to state, but difficult to understand. The best attempts of philosophers and theologians have availed little to satisfy the yearnings of the devoted heart.
With logical rigor and philosophical precision, Christ Condemned provides a thorough explanation of the Incarnation and the Trinity. The author breaks complex concepts into their simplest parts, making the book's argument accessible to a common audience, while satisfying the demands of scholars. The critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant is thoroughly explained, and employed in the defense of Christian doctrine. The work is challenging, as it should be, but the insights within are available to those who put in the time and effort.
This is not a work of high-flown speculation, but an immanently practical account, showing the absolute necessity of these doctrines for the salvation of the soul. The divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Trinity of divine persons are demonstrated by and for the sake of the sinner to repent of his sins, and to glorify the God of his salvation.
The work begins with the practical proof of God's existence, necessary for man to be happy in doing his duty. It then shows the necessity of revelation from God in Jesus Christ, who being God manifest in the flesh, is righteous under the condemnation of the Father for the sins of the world. The persons are then defined, and their roles distinguished in the work of atonement. Finally, the possibility of three persons in one nature is examined and explained, and the absolute necessity of the existence of the Triune God is proven.
This is a groundbreaking work of immense scope. In the space of 124 pages, the fundamental doctrines of Christianity are proven and explained, both from the revelation of God in Scripture, and the dire need of reason for a solution to the problem of sin. Reason and revelation are harmonized, and the orthodox doctrine of the historic church is vindicated. This is essential reading for serious students of theology.
