ABSTRACT

Scepticism and unbelief concerning miracles is, for the group, one cause of the divinity of Jesus being denied. Jesus is said to provide the pattern for authentic human living, showing by word and example how to live a fully human life. He is the icon of the true self; the clue to understanding what a human being is or can become. This kind of Christology emphasizes the continuity between Jesus and other human beings. There is no ontological gap between Jesus and other human beings. Wilson's view of Jesus is not dissimilar to that of H. S. Reimarus, the German sceptic and founder of the so-called Quest for the historical Jesus. The concept of divinity is generally adjusted to fit with what they say about Jesus' humanity. The radical liberal approach eschews Chalcedon altogether, abandoning any claims of uniqueness and divinity for Jesus. Traditionally the incarnation has always been regarded as the supreme act of God in human history.
