God In Christ, Three Discourses

God in Christ, Three Discourses: Delivered at New Haven, Cambridge, and Andover, with a Preliminary Dissertation on Language (1850) is a collection of three lectures by Horace Bushnell, a prominent theologian and pastor in the 19th century. The book explores the nature of God and his relationship with humanity, with a particular focus on the role of Jesus Christ as the mediator between God and humanity.The first discourse, delivered in New Haven, examines the concept of the Trinity and the relationship between God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Bushnell argues that the Trinity is not a logical contradiction, but rather a mystery that can only be understood through faith.The second discourse, delivered in Cambridge, focuses on the nature of Christ as both fully God and fully human. Bushnell argues that Christ's humanity is essential to his role as a mediator between God and humanity, and that his divinity is necessary for him to be able to bridge the gap between God and humanity.The third discourse, delivered in Andover, explores the concept of atonement and the role of Christ's death on the cross in reconciling humanity to God. Bushnell argues that Christ's death was not a payment to God for humanity's sins, but rather a demonstration of God's love and a means of transforming humanity.The book also includes a preliminary dissertation on language, in which Bushnell explores the relationship between language and theology. He argues that language is a crucial tool for understanding and communicating theological concepts, but that it can also be a barrier to understanding if used improperly.Overall, God in Christ, Three Discourses provides a thought-provoking exploration of some of the key concepts of Christian theology, and offers insights into the nature of God and his relationship with humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
