Oh boy do we need somewhere to store our stuff!!!

In any case:
just sent off a paper for publication in which I argue that God's mode of speaking in scripture is characterised by gentleness... I fear it has truck-sized holes, but there you go.

Also, thinking about the human nature of Christ: how is it representative of humanity in toto? Does it work as a kind of depersonalised "humanity"? Cyril in the fifth century set forth the doctrine of anhypostasia as a way of saying that J's humanity was impersonal.

R.C. Moberly writes:

"human nature which is not personal is not human nature." Atonement and Personality, p. 92

"If he might have been, yet He certainly was not, a man only, amongst men. His relation to the human race is not that He was another specimen, differing by being another from everyone except Himself. His relation to the human race was not a differentiation, but a consummating relation [interesting language here - MJ]. He was not generically, but inclusively, man." Atonement and Personality p. 86

"Inclusively" and "consummating": that's an interesting way of conceiving the relation of Christ's humanity to the humanity of the rest of us...

Here is John Baillie in reply:
"Surely, whatever else Jesus was, He was a member of the human race, the human species, a man among men, or one man among others. However true may be the conception of human solidarity, or of the solidarity of Christ with mankind, or of Christ as the 'representative Man' through whom we come to God, it remains true that He was a man among men." God Was in Christ p. 87
