Infinite Risk Theology
Could Godâs Son incarnate sin? Could the tomb have remained closed? Could the story have gone differently? More precisely, could Godâs Son be eternally separated from the Fatherâs communion and eventually die and go out of existence? Mainstream theology often argued for Christâs impossibility to change (immutability), be separated from the triune God (indivisibility), and sin (impeccability). Consequently, there was no potential risk to his life; his death on the cross could not affect in any form his divine life. Would the cross not need, instead, a risk to be a sacrifice? Here is where the question finds its raison d'ĂȘtre: Could Godâs Son risk his eternal existence, losing himself forever with all humankind? This question is rarely considered or often neglected in Christological debates. Ellen G. White, a woman among the most prolific nineteenth-century authors and a prominent Adventist theologian, delves into what she calls the âinfinite risk,â the potential reality of the death of God the Son. Drawing on her extensive writings, this book analyses Whiteâs Christology, Incarnational model, and views of the Godhead and of what (could have) happened at the cross, cutting new paths in the comprehension of Godâs love while challenging conventional theological paradigms.
