The Shocking Logic of the Incarnation

from Ave Maria in the Afternoon Segments · host Dr. Marcus Peter

The doctrine of the Eucharist is one of the biggest divisions between Catholics and Protestants. But we can begin a dialogue using a belief that is common to all Christians – the Word became Flesh. The shocking logic of the Incarnation is precisely what has compelled apostolic Christians to affirm the Real Presence for two thousand years. We talk more about it with Matthew Becklo.Further ReadingThe heaven-earth dilemma and the scandal of God-become-dirtBook: The Way of Heaven and Earth: From Either/Or to the Catholic Both/AndGuest InfoMatthew Becklo is a husband and father, writer and editor, and the Publishing Director for Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.
