Why Did God Become Human? by Dr. Horan

FST Fall Franciscan Zoom Lecture #9
Why Did God Become Human?
Renewing our Understanding of the ‘Reason for the Season’
By Dr. Daniel P. Horan, OFM
This lecture invites us to reflect on the meaning of the Incarnation, of God’s choice not only to be “God For Us,” but also “God With Us” (Emmanuel) as the Word made flesh! This presentation takes the well-known Christmas slogan “remember the reason for the season” as its starting point and explores the question of why God became human in the first place. Fr. Daniel will then unpack the significance of the answer we give to this question for our understanding of God, ourselves, and our world. When it can be difficult to see the light of Christ in our communities and world, a renewed understanding of the Incarnation offers us spiritual inspiration and hope.
