Soteriology - A Dogmatic Treatise on the Redemption #246731

The Redemption could not have been effected by a mediator who was either mere God or mere man. It required one who was both God and man. Christ, alone, being both God and man, was in a position to act as natural and moral mediator and to reconcile the human race to its Creator. We have shown in a previous treatise that Christology 1 is founded on the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union. Similarly, Soteriology turns. On the pivotal concept of the mediatorship of Christ and may be said to be implicitly contained in 2 Cor. V, 19: God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself.
