QUESTION 5

OF THE PARTS OF HUMAN NATURE WHICH WERE ASSUMED

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider the assumption of the parts of human nature; and

under this head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the Son of God ought to have assumed a true body?

(2) Whether He ought to have assumed an earthly body, i.e. one of

flesh and blood?

(3) Whether He ought to have assumed a soul?

(4) Whether He ought to have assumed an intellect?
