10 Resources on the Incarnation

10 Resources on the Incarnation

At Advent, we celebrate one of the distinctive features of Christianity: God made flesh. Together with the Trinity, the Incarnation of Jesus Christ is an essential tenet of the Christian faith yet it is also mysterious and often draws questions. Who did Jesus claim to be? How could He be both divine and human?

To address these questions and strengthen Christians’ understanding of the Incarnation, I offer these 10 resources, including a web page, articles, and podcasts to get you started and books for those who want to go farther.

May a deeper appreciation for the miracle of Advent enhance your enjoyment of this festive season. Merry Christmas!
