On The Flesh Of Christ (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169205635)

On The Flesh Of Christ is a theological treatise written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and writer who lived in the second and third centuries AD. The book explores the nature of Christ's physical body and its relationship to his divine nature. Tertullian argues that Christ's body was truly human, and that it was necessary for him to have a physical body in order to truly suffer and die on behalf of humanity. He also discusses the concept of the Eucharist and the role of the body and blood of Christ in the sacrament. Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on Scripture and the teachings of the early Church to support his arguments. On The Flesh Of Christ is an important work in the development of Christian theology and remains a significant text for scholars of early Christianity.Since(24) you think that this lay within the competency of your own arbitrary choice, you must needs have supposed that being born(25) was either impossible for God, or unbecoming to Him. With God, however, nothing is impossible but what He does not will. Let us consider, then, whether He willed to be born (for if He had the will, He also had the power, and was born). I put the argument very briefly. If God had willed not to be born, it matters not why, He would not have presented Himself in the likeness of man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
