Editing Apollinarism (section)

== Neo-Apollinarianism ==
Christian philosopher [[William Lane Craig]] has proposed a neo-Apollinarian Christology in which the divine Logos completes the human nature of Christ. Craig says his proposal is tentative and he welcomes critique and interaction from other scholars.<ref>William Lane Craig and J.P. Moreland. 2003. ''Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview.'' InterVarsity Press. 608.</ref>

Craig also clarifies "what I called a Neo-Apollinarian Christological model" by stating that {{blockquote|What I argue in my Neo-Apollinarian proposal is that the ''Logos'' brought to the human body just those properties which would make it a complete human nature – things like [[rationality]], [[self-consciousness]], freedom of the will, and so forth. Christ already possessed those in his divine nature, and it is in virtue of those that we are created in the [[image of God]]. So when he brought those properties to the animal body – the human body – it completes it and makes it a human nature. Against Apollinarius, I want to say that Christ did have a complete human nature. He was truly God and truly man. Therefore his death on our behalf as our representative before God was efficacious.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.reasonablefaith.org/media/reasonable-faith-podcast/does-dr.-craig-have-an-orthodox-christology/| title = Does Dr. Craig Have an Orthodox Christology? {{!}} Podcast {{!}} Reasonable Faith}}</ref>}}
