Summary
Drawing together the threads of this book, this chapter argues for an understanding of the “whole Christ” as validly considered an “extension of the Incarnation.” Not only was Christ receptive to the world in the time of his earthly ministry, his human identity and the redemption accomplished in him are not complete without the existence and agency of the Body that he has joined to himself.
