Summary
We have come a long way to arrive at this point. It all began with a question regarding what Christology and biology might have in common. The question immediately prompted the observation that Christology and biology together entail a central proposition: that God became incarnate as a human being, a particular rational–moral biological organism shaped by evolution. Although the connection between Christianity’s claim to Incarnation and contemporary biology had never been explored in the science–religion literature, we sought to remedy that deficiency in this book. From this starting point – the relation of Christology and biology – we explored a range of important topics familiar to the science–religion discussion. In the process, we hoped to discover much about our own humanity from theological and scientific perspectives, and therefore much about the humanity that Jesus Christ took on.
