This work ponders on the questions that seem to be particularly relevant when one reflects on the incarnation of the Word of God, exploring the primary meaning of Incarnation Faith. The incarnation is a mysterious one and the same individual is both divinely infinite and humanly infinite, and yet the redeeming love of God is the key to God's saving love towards human beings and their world. This book aims to prove a challenging discourse on this fundamental topic in theology. Relevant to students, it also engages fully with the concerns of modern secular men and women.
