Abstract

In this paper we give a philosophical analysis of the spatial paradox of incarnation in theology of the famous XXth century Scottish theologian Thomas Torrance. The paradox is interpreted in the context of modern cosmology, in particular in relation to a basic cosmological principle of uniformity of space in the universe. As a step beyond Torrance’s theology the paper analyses the paradox of the incarnation for the elucidation of the sense of the human condition and, in particular, the concept of person as the center of disclosure and manifestation of the universe.
