Hick, John: The Myth of God Incarnate Here a group of distinguished theologians and Biblical scholars ask whether the idea of the incarnation is essential to Christianity; and they question the whole development of the doctrine. Their thesis is that "Jesus was (as he is presented in Acts 2.21) 'a man approved by God' for a special role within the divine purpose, and . . . the later conception of him as God incarnate, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is a mythological or poetic way of expressing his significance for us." This reinterpretation of the doctrine of the incarnation has been criticized as sensational and destructive, but the authors declare a constructive purpose. They have examined evidence from the New Testament onward with care and thoroughness and have asked their questions because they are concerned with the consequences of their findings for a full and living Christian faith for today.

Is Jesus an actual or mythical Historical person? History derives from a Greek word meaning "inquiry". History is a realm open to rational investigation. It is distinguished from the area of myth, fiction, and subjective experience. Jesus in history means that Jesus lived, died, and rose again in a part of our world which can be located on a map and in a time that can be placed on a calendar. The New Testament insists on the fact that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ belong to the category of objective history and not to that of an inner experience. Jesus in history is so important, that His coming divides history into two periods: B.C. and A.D. The wonder and grandeur of Jesus of Nazareth is that He is the Son, who came into the world made through Him, not for His benefit, but for ours: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God allowed persecution to fall on both Old and New Testament saints as a part of his discipline designed for their spiritual growth in righteousness and holiness(Hebrews 10:32-34). God has told us clearly that we must suffer persecutions as followers of Christ (John 15:20), but the Christian sees in such sufferings God's appointed means of testing faith, purifying character and developing humility and compassion.
