This book raises in a new way a formerly central but recently neglected question in systematic theology: what is the Divine motive for the incarnation? Throughout Christian history theologians have agreed that God's decision to become incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ was made necessaryby humanity's fall from grace. If Adam and Eve had not sinned, the incarnation would not have happened. This position is known as 'infralapsarian.' In the 19th and 20th centuries, however, some major theological figures championed a 'supralapsarian' Christology, arguing that God had always intendedthe incarnation, independent of 'the Fall.' Edwin van Driel offers the first scholarly monograph to map and analyze the full range of supralapsarian arguments. He gives a thick description of each argument and its theological consequences, and evaluates the theological gains and losses inherent ineach approach. Van Driel shows that each of the three ways in which God is thought to relate to all that is not God - in creation, in redemption, and in eschatological consummation - can serve as the basis for a supra-lapsarian argument. He illustrates this thesis with detailed case studies of theChristologies of Schleiermacher, Dorner, and Barth. He concludes that the most fruitful supralapsarian strategy is rooted in the notion of eschatological consummation, taking interpersonal interaction with God to be the goal of the incarnation. He goes on to develop his own argument along theselines, concluding in an eschatological vision in which God is visually, audibly, and tangibly present in the midst of God's people.
