Summary
This chapter continues the investigation of the work of incarnation, using engagement with scholarship on the historical Jesus to understand how Christ’s person and work are shaped by his receptivity to the world. In particular, the chapter concentrates upon: 1) Christ’s relation to the non-human world; 2) Christ’s location within the context of Roman Palestine; 3) Christ’s spiritual and intellectual formation within Second Temple Judaism; and 4) the significance of Jesus’ religious upbringing for his messianic consciousness.
