The period from Thomas Aquinas to Duns Scotus is one of the richest in the history of Christian theology. The Metaphysics of the Incarnation aims to provide a thorough examination of the doctrine in this era, making explicit its philosophical and theological foundations. Medieval theologians believed that there were good reasons for supposing that Christ''s human nature was an individual. In the light of this, Part 1 discusses how the various thinkers held that an individual nature could be united to a divine person. Part 2 shows how one divine person could be incarnate without any other. Part 3 deals with questions of Christological predication, and Part 4 shows how an individual nature is to be distinguished from a person. The work begins with a full account of the metaphysics presupposed in the medieval accounts, and concludes with observations relating medieval accounts to modern Christology.

Industry Reviews

`Review from other book by this author Cross's book is extremely dense and rich both exegetically and philosophically. Though his approach is primarily exegetical, Cross also succeeds in showing that many aspects of Scotus, physics are of more than historical interest. There is also little doubt that Cross's book greatly contributes to our knowledge of Aristotelian natural philosophy in the late Middle Ages. It should be read by anyone seriously interested in Scotus and/or medieval physics.' Cecilia Trifogli, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol.51 No.1
