God-man (Koine Greek:θεάνθρωπος,romanized: theánthropos;Latin:deus homo^[1]) is a term which refers to theincarnation and thehypostatic union ofChrist, which are two ofmainstream Christianity's most widely accepted and reveredchristological doctrines.

Origins

[edit]

The first usage of the term "God-man" as a theological concept appears in the writing of the 3rd-centuryChurch Father Origen:^[2]

This substance of a soul, then, being intermediate between God and the flesh – it being impossible for the nature of God to intermingle with a body without an intermediate instrument – the God-man is born.^[3]

Posterity

[edit]

The term is also used by themedieval philosopher and theologianAnselm of Canterbury (11th century) in his treatise on the atonement,Cur Deus Homo ("Why God Became Man").^[4]

The term is used in theWestminster Larger Catechism, where it says:

Christ is exalted in his sitting at the right hand of God, in that as God-man he is advanced to the highest favour with God the Father^[5]
