The result of the Incarnation is that a man is himself the Son of God, so that if someone pinches this man, then he is pinching the Word of God. The person who is this man is the same person who is the Word. Comparing this gift with everything before it, one could say that God had ‘shared’ himself many times before, but in the Incarnation he ‘gave’ himself for the first time.

WHY THE WORD BECAME WORDS

Cur Deus Verba unfolds a systematic theology of Scripture from a single key question: What did God seek to accomplish by making the Bible? The answer requires seeing why the Holy Trinity made anything at all, why the Word became flesh, and finally why the Church needs an inspired text.
