Freedom comes with the unity of three differents. Unity is 



a system, which we may designate Infinite Reciprocity . 106 



Each hypostasis is not merely a being, it is a person, as each 

 contains all three elements, though the emphasis is differ- 

 ently placed in each 107 



The Godhead, if it is a Personality, must be in fact a 

 Unity, which unity is substantiated or determined as itself, 

 by three Persons, completely interpenetrating, yet each 

 differentiated from the others by the stress or emphasis of 

 its individual functioning ....... 108 



Consideration of the difficulty that by the above reasoning 

 personalities might be split up into three persons an in-

CHAPTER IV 

 SOME IMPLICATIONS OF THE INCARNATION 



In the past, the Divinity of Christ, rather than His 

 Humanity, was insisted upon, . . . . . .116 



though recent thought has begun to swing in the opposite 

 direction, and to emphasise the doctrine of the Kenosis as 

 originally taught by St John and St Paul . . . . 117 



Every human being, during pre-natal and post-natal life, 

 recapitulates, physically, mentally and spiritually, the 

 history of the evolution of the human race . . . 117 



Christ, as a human being, did this too . . . .120 



He identified Himself with the whole of organic life and 

 development by recapitulating it in His own experience . 124 



The evolution of man has been misdirected by his own sin, 

 and we have seen reason to believe that the whole human 

 race is imbued with a taint of positive evil . . .125 



Hence appears a dilemma: either Christ must have been 

 affected with the stain of humanity's misdirection of its own 

 evolution, or there must have been something not quite 

 normally human in the nature of His Manhood . .126 



We are forced to reject the first alternative. Christ was 

 Perfect Man, not merely an example of the best that was 

 possible to mankind gone wrong 128
