5.0 out of 5 stars
Important and insightful ... classic Erickson,
By
This review is from: Word Became Flesh, The: A Contemporary Incarnational Christology (Paperback)
The primary textbook for my Christology class at seminary, Erickson is at his best here, covering all the necessary elements for a complete understanding of modern Christology. From the historical development of Chalcedonian Christology to the modern views of process and feminist Christology, all the bases are covered. The last half of the book is dedicated to an actual defense of the classical (Chalcedonian) view of who Jesus Christ was. No one can give the reader more information to process while keeping it clear and level-headed than Erickson can. This book is an extremely important piece of contemporary evangelical theology.

Great overview on many issues in Christology,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Word Became Flesh (Hardcover)
Lengthy volume covering the historical and biblical issues. "Conservative." Covers several viewpoints and a thoughtful evaluation of each. I wanted more detail in some areas, but it covered so much already.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book.....but very dense,

This review is from: Word Became Flesh, The: A Contemporary Incarnational Christology (Paperback)
This is an amazing book but be well aware this is a dense read and not a casual "Pick it up and put it down in a hour." Erikson covers a variety of topics and presents his facts and reasoning very well but this book is more academic than casual.
