A Case Study of the Personification of God on Earth

Exploring the Incarnation: The Personification of God in Christian Theology

Abstract

The Personification of Christ is a central Christian doctrine that God became flesh, assumed a human nature, and became a man in the form of Jesus, the Son of God and the second person of the Trinity. Personification literally means embodied in flesh or taking on flesh. It refers to the conception and birth of a sentient being who is the material manifestation of an entity, god or force whose original nature is immaterial. In its religious context the word is used to mean the descent from Heaven of a god, deity, or divine being in humananimal form on Earth.
