4.0 out of 5 stars
A detailed examination of central Christology, November 24, 2002
This review is from: Does God Change? (Studies in Historical Theology) (Paperback)
Weinandy's "Does God Change?" addresses the Christological question of mutability in the divine nature, as is conceptually challenged in the notion of the Word 'becoming' man. Through a comparison with early and later Fathers of both East and West (though predominantly the latter), as well as with several modern thinkers, Weinandy examines in great detail the manner in which the 'becoming' of the Incarnation need not -and in fact does not- require 'change' in the divine nature of God; and in the process, the book definitively refutes several of the most common modern-day Christological errors on this front. Exceptionally dense in places, this book requires some level of academic familiarity with the field in order to be read effectively; but for those in the field, it is an extremely helpful text.
