Given the affirmation that the incarnation is inclusive of the humanity of all human beings of all races and historical conditions and both genders, it becomes clear that Jesus the Christ’s ability to be savior does not reside in his maleness but in his loving, liberating history in the midst of the powers of evil and oppression. In face of this, the trivialization introduced into the doctrine of the incarnation by androcentric stress on the maleness of Jesus’s humanity fully warrants the charge of heresy and even blasphemy currently being leveled against it.
