Book excerpt: In this revealing book, Graham McFarlane assesses the prophetic, yet so far neglected, contribution of Scottish minister, Edward Irving (1792-1834) to theological reflection on the Incarnation. He asserts that only now are the by-passed thinkers of previous generations being listened to again. At the time Irving was writing, the Trinity and the Incarnation were both being undermined by contemporary theology. Irving's work related Trinity and the Incarnation intimately, intertwining the Trinity with the work of the Spirit in the Incarnation. The author gives an example and explanation of Irving's christology: explaining his understanding both of the location of the Divine being and also of the human being in relation to the Holy Spirit.
