Abstract

BENTLEY, Wessel. Re-visiting the notion of Deep Incarnation in light of 1 Corinthians 15:28 and emergence theory. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.4, pp.1-8. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v72i4.3425.

Niels Hendrik Gregersen's 'Deep Incarnation' is opening up possibilities for engagement between science and theology. Recent discoveries, like that of Homo naledi, raise questions about how inclusive a Christian doctrine of Incarnation is. Is Jesus only God incarnate for Homo sapien sapiens, or is the incarnation inclusive of preceding hominid species as well? Does the incarnation stretch beyond the hominid line? This chapter engages Gregersen's understanding of Deep Incarnation in light of 1 Corinthians 15:28 and emergence theory. It proposes that there is a direct correlation between worldview and how we believe in the inclusive nature of divine incarnation.
