Summary
What is meant by God's taking the place of human beings? How are representation and vicariousness related in the dogma of the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ? In this book, Christof Gestrich presents a philosophy of the Christian religion which refers to these questions. His goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the Christian doctrine of salvation and to combine this with an ethical concept of modern civilization, with particular attention directed towards the perspective of freedom.
