The Contradictory Christ

In this ground-breaking study, Jc Beall shows that the fundamental ＂problem＂ of Christology is simple to see from the role that Christ occupies: the Christ figure is to have the divine and essentially limitless properties of the one and only God but Christ is equally to have the human, essentially limit-imposing properties involved in human nature, limits essentially involved in being human. The role that Christ occupies thereby appears to demand a contradiction: all of the limitlessness of God, and all of the limits of humans. This book lays out Beall’s contradictory account of Jesus Christ -- and thereby a contradictory Christian theology.
