In Christ, the Christian, and the Church, E. L. Mascall shows how the
incarnation of the Son of God is the unifying principle of the life and
thought of both the individual Christian and the Church through subjects
such as: eschatology, ecclesiology, pneumatology, ascetical and mystical
theology, and more. Instead of reinforcing the view that Christ's
descent to earth was anthropocentric, Mascall explains that it was in
fact theocentric; man is woven "into the godhead" instead of "the
godhead into flesh," and our actions as Christians are actions of Christ
himself because of the unifying act of baptism.
