Apollinarius and the Nature of Christ

This chapter explores Apollinarius' theological perspective on the incarnation of Christ, specifically how he reconciles Jesus' dual nature by proposing a union of body, animal soul, and divine rationality. It contrasts his views with earlier theologians, particularly focusing on the complexities of Christ's experience of temptation and the implications of divine impassibility. The discussion invites deeper reflection on the authenticity of Christ's human experiences and their significance for understanding his divine nature.
