GREGERSEN, Niels Henrik. Deep incarnation: From deep history to post-axial religion. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.4, pp.1-12. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v72i4.3428.

This article presents in broad outline the theological concept of deep incarnation and brings it into dialogue with correlative ideas of deep history and deep sociality. It will be argued that neither Christology, nor evolution, can be properly understood from a chronocentric perspective. Evolution is not only about development but also about the exploration of ecospace. Likewise, a contemporary Christology should explicate incarnation as a divine assumption of the full ecospace of the material world of creation. It will then be argued that an interactionist view of deep history is preferable to the evolutionary cognitive theory of religion (ECTR). Against this background, the paper will explore Jesus of Nazareth's role in the context of post-axial mentalities.
