Why God Became Man

We are delighted to present this Trinity Forum Reading featuring excerpts from the classic Why God Became Man by Anselm of Canterbury, with an introduction by theologian and Senior Fellow Mark Labberton.

The trappings of Christmas often distract from what has been called the scandal of the incarnation: how is it that, in the words of Frederick Buechner, “the Creator of the ends of the earth comes among us in diapers”? Why would God choose to dwell among us, as one of us? It is an enduring wonder, a mystery explored with especial acuity by the medieval philosopher Anselm of Canterbury.

Insightfully introduced by theologian and former Fuller Seminary President Mark Labberton, this Reading explores both the rationality of faith and the implications of God’s nature and love — and redirects the reader’s gaze towards the character and being of the newborn King. As Labberton notes, “If we are instructed by Anselm, then when we sing ‘Away in the Manger’ we will be far more likely to focus on God’s being and how God’s love reorders our own being and loving.”
