'Oliver Crisp's God Incarnate is an "exercise in analytic theology" by a leading analytic theologian. Clearly written and rigorously argued, the book provides an engaging and theologically sensitive tour of a variety of issues concerning, and closely connected to, the metaphysics of the Incarnation. God Incarnate will surely be of interest to both philosophers and theologians working on this central aspect of Christian theology.'
(Michael Rea )
'Oliver Crisp continues his project of analytical theology with these doctrinally sensitive studies of central topics in Christology. There are few contemporary accounts of the metaphysics and dogmatics and dogmatics of incarnation which can match this book for clarity, rigour and penetration.'
John Webster, King's College, Aberdeen, Scotland
(John Webster )
'Those who are less than enthusiastic about the revival of analytic theology ought to look to Crisp's work as an exemplar for the discipline and direct their concerns to the fruit of the discipline rather than the method itself. In Crisp's work they will find tight arguments, concern for scripture and tradition, and a respectable coherence. God Incarnate, while successful on its own terms, can be viewed as a guidebook for further explorations in analytic theology.'- James Gordon, Docent Research Group, Austin, TX 78755, USA

'All of these essays are thought-provoking, even if one does not agree with all he says... Crisp writes with great clarity and persuasiveness... [His] work demonstrates that analytic discipline can restore both lucidity and precision to the theological endeavor.'
