2-Was Jesus Christ really human?
by Professor T. W. Manson , D.D.
This is the second of a series of talks dealing with the theological difficulties that arise at Christmas time. In this talk Professor Manson assumes that the question of the divinity of Christ is accepted and asks the further question: Do our behefs about the divine Son of God make it impossible for us to believe that Jesus Christ was fully a man?
