{"product_id":"why-god-became-man-9781505136104","title":"Why God Became Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eSt. Anselm of Canterbury's\u003c\/b\u003e foundational theological work, \u003ci\u003eWhy God Became Man\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCur Deus Homo\u003c\/i\u003e), delve into a profound and meticulously reasoned exploration of the \u003cb\u003eIncarnation\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eAtonement\u003c\/b\u003e. Written in the 11th century as a dialogue, Anselm addresses the fundamental question of \u003cb\u003ewhy God, being omnipotent, chose to redeem humanity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ\u003c\/b\u003e, rather than by a simple act of divine will. He masterfully articulates the \u003cb\u003esatisfaction theory of atonement\u003c\/b\u003e, arguing that humanity's sin incurred an infinite debt to God's honor, a debt only an infinite being--God Himself--could repay. This seminal text continues to be a cornerstone of Christian theology, offering timeless insights into the \u003cb\u003enature of God, sin, justice, and salvation\u003c\/b\u003e. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tan Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505136104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Anselm Of Canterbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024464109749,"sku":"9781505136104","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781505136104.jpg?v=1787667659","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/why-god-became-man-9781505136104","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
