| Summary: | Preaching the incarnation entails acknowledging and exploring the implications of bodily existence. Such preaching affirms that embodied life calls for ethical concern and reflection. The body is not, for Christian faith, merely a container for a “soul”; instead, the body is essential to, and constitutive of, human personhood. The doctrine of incarnation says that divinity became known in humanity, including the singular and limited bodily life of Jesus. Incarnational preaching is confident that human limitations are a crucible of revelation. |
