#90 - The Hypostatic Union
Was Jesus part God and part man? Did he become God at some point in His life? Was Jesus just appearing in human form? These are some of the questions that have caused divisions in the Church throughout the centuries. In continuation of our series on the Nature of God, Justin Hibbard explores the Church’s emphatic and repeated declaration that Jesus was fully human and fully divine.

#88 - The Incarnation & the Imagination of God
Why was the incarnation necessary? Did God really have to become a man in order to redeem mankind, or is the incarnation more indicative of an imaginative God with a taste for the theatrical and the mythological? Justin Hibbard continues the series on the nature of God by looking at God and His imagination.
Why does God tell Moses that no one can see His face and live, yet we see a number of times where God has a face-to-face encounter with man prior to the incarnation. In continuation of our series on the Nature of God, Justin Hibbard explores Christophanies - pre-incarnate appearances of Christ.
