Oliver Crisp examines the doctrine of the incarnation as one of the central and defining dogmas of the Christian faith. The doctrine of the incarnation is one of the central and defining dogmas of the Christian faith. In this text, Oliver Crisp builds upon his previous work, "Divinity and Humanity: The Incarnation Reconsidered" (Cambridge, 2007). In "God Incarnate", he explores the Incarnation further and covers issues he did not deal with in his previous book. This work attempts to further the project of setting out a coherent account of the Incarnation by considering key facets of this doctrine, as parts of a larger, integrated, doctrinal whole. Throughout, he is concerned to develop a position in line with historic Christianity that is catholic and ecumenical in tone, in line with the contours of the Reformed theological tradition within which his own work falls. And, like its predecessor, this book will draw upon philosophical and theological resources to make sense of the problems the doctrine faces.

'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
